desktop icons won't stay put

Vista home premium with service pack 2

icons on the desktop keep moving back to the left when re-boot. I
un-checked everything under personalize. Have tried a couple things but
nothing works. Help

Right-click Desktop
Select View
Uncheck Auto Arrange

Move Icons to the way you want them to look...

and logout or reboot to check icons stay put.
