Usually this is because you've unplugged it and ran MAME without it plugged in, or the controller got reassigned to another port upon reboot. The easiest way to retain your setting in such cases is to make your mappings, when use Windows to set the file as "READ ONLY" (right click -> properties and checkmark the Read-only then APPLY button. This will ensure the file doesn't get overwritten even if controllers were moved or unplugged. But, in such instances were MAME is looking for inputs that may not exist, you may encounter emulation issues. Just be warned.
There are other methods which are pretty high on the technical side which will work better, but what I mentioned above is the by far the easiest/less complex. If you are brave, there is info here:
