Winamp saves its settings uponn closing. Rebooting/restarting the computer while Winamp is still running may prevent Winamp from saving the settings correctly. So, make sure to close Winamp before restarting/rebooting the computer.

Otherwise, do you notice other Winamp settings not saving correctly? That has been has been a reported issue with the Windows Washer cleaner application or maybe another temp file cleaner. Other information and suggested fixes about Winamp settings not being saved correctly here and/or here.

No luck or the above is not it? Please provide system & Winamp specs.

You're welcome

It is one of the little quirks of Winamp. Generally it may be caused by third party plug-ins trying to save its settings and not giving Winamp enough time to close and save its default settings as the computer shuts down.
