I think i found a better way to test and understand the problem.
Rename the file Wings use to save the prefs in AppData so Wings will make a new file.
Start Wings, resize main Window and change size of 3D Window or any other pref (this is only to be able to tell that prefs get resetted), close Wings.
Go in AppData to find the file, edit it with NotePad (any notepad), find a line where there is a file path written (at this state, only the path to the backup of prefs should be there), edit this line to include a "é" in the filename (not in the folder name), save file.
Open Wings, dont do anything else, close it.
Next time we start it, Wings can't read the prefs file, they get resetted.
So, it's when special characters are saved in the (main) prefs file that this problem occur.
EDIT : In others words, Wings 1.5.3 can write/save when the prefs it is writing will contain a special character, but it can't read them back.
