Preferences causes app to crash

[ctcalhoun]

Windows 10, Wings 3D 2.2.1

I started messing with preferences, then Wings 3D wouldn't open. Deleting the preferences allows Wings 3D to start.

What actually is causing the issue, in my case, by process of elimination — was not a preference window control, but creating a shortcut to the preference window (Ctrl+K, like Adobe).
