wandering desktop icons

On occasion, whenever I "re-save" a document that has an icon that
resides on my desktop, the icon moves to a different location.

I find this frustrating since I like my icons to be where I'm used to
them being - for quick access. Whenever I update and save this
particular Excel spreadsheet, it moves to a different location.

I have all my icons set to "Align to Grid". I have "Auto Arrange" turned
off.

I have no idea why icons frequently get a mind of their own and decide
that THEY are going to decide where to reside.

What's with this?
