Do you have your desktop set to auto-arrange? If so, that might be causing this.

You can right-click on your desktop and select “view” from the resulting menu. From there, check to see if there is a check mark next to auto-arrange in the other menu.

Try marking it and then unmarking it, it might help with the auto-shuffle type thing that's going on for you.
