Does this happen with a specific skin? Have you noticed other settings not getting saved correctly? Anyways, maybe ne or more of the following...

Be sure to close Winamp before shutting down Windows or rebooting the computer. That will allow Winamp to properly save its settings.
While Winamp is not running…
1. Right click on the Winamp folder (usually C:\Program Files\Winamp)
2. select Properties
3. General tab
4. uncheck/unselect 'Read-only' > click Apply
5. If asked to confirm, select 'Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files' > click OK
6. click OK

That should remove any arbitrary read-only settings with in the Winamp folder and allow the setting files to be saved correctly.
Do you have any 3rd party plug-ins? The problem could be related to a dodgy plug-in.
No, dice? Try a full uninstall/reinstall of Winamp 5 (have reg key ready just incase) or maybe these possibly related issues from Troubleshooters - Common Issues...

Limited Multi-User account issues

Settings not being saved when installed to default dir
