Desktop Icons Keep Moving

Hi I am running WXP SP2 on a laptop. There are quite a number of icons on this desktop which I have added and are located in a particular order so I can access the files conveniently. But when ever I dconnect into work using VPN 4.8 the icons rearrange themselves. This is very frustrating as I have to keep going back and moving them back (they stay in the wrong spot even when I have logged onto the LAN untill I move them). It also occurs if I log into the machine as the domain administrator.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated .
