If you use a cleaning program, such as ccleaner for example, it can cause the refresh behavior. I noticed a few places that are a bit buggy in general too like you mentioned with checkmarks and such. I haven't tried this yet myself, but maybe check out this link and see if you can fix up the right-click context menu so that it works the way you want?

For your posts, could I suggest tidying up the titles so they are easier to read and keep track of among other threads. For example, this thread could be titled "Desktop Icon Arrangement" or something of that nature, rather than such a long title it gets truncated.
