Desktop icons don't stay arranged

Since the last couple of days my desktop icons have shifted position.
When I take them off 'auto arrange' and rearrange them, they are OK as long as the computer is left on. On restarts the icons go back to a different configuration. What can I do to retain the arrangement that I want? Thanks.
