As per header. Started the system up (98SE) and all the icons are in
"scrambled" order compared to my normal layout. Re-ran virus check with current
definitions just to double-check - negative. Any ideas?

This has happened to me at various times. First solution; keep a
hardcopy of a screen snapshot, so you can rearrange as you wish.
Second solution, which I've switched to lately: forget about having
a custom arrangement, and arrange the icons (right click on the
desktop, open "arrange icons") "by name"; it's much easier to do,
and if you can remember the icon names (or rename them to arrange
more as you wish) it soon gets easy to find things.
