    "Once you specify your preference here, it may take some time for changes to be reflected in our index. While Google doesn't guarantee that we'll show your URLs in the form that you prefer, we will use your choice as a suggestion to improve our indexing." This is what I see right above the "Clear preference" button. Give Google some time, SEO is always long and time-consuming.

    i think you should put in your .htaccess the following lines:
    Options +FollowSymlinks
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.|$) [NC]
    RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

    This is what i found doin some googling. So i think it should work for you ;)
    "301 redirect is the most efficient and Search Engine Friendly method for webpage redirection. It's not that hard to implement and it should preserve your search engine rankings for that particular page. If you have to change file names or move pages around, it's the safest option. The code "301" is interpreted as "moved permanently"."

    IIS - internet information services.
    First of all you should check your hosting provider to see wether you have apache or iis.
    if you have apache, then u can use .htaccess
    for iis you have ISAPI Rewrite (but is not free :( ).
    good luck
