The correct name of vimrc on Windows is _vimrc. A file with a preceding dot is actually not a permitted file name on Windows. there is nothing wrong with a file name with a leading dot. Even directory names with a leading dot are accepted: :echo $MYVIMRC C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\jkr.HABEL\.vimrc set rtp? runtimepath=~/.vim,D:\Progs\vim/vimfiles,D:\Progs\vim\vim70,D:\Progs\vim/vimfiles/after,~/.vim/after (Although there are ways of getting one on the system.) It seems Windows Explorer does not allow to create a file name with a leading dot, but on the command line and inside VIM it's no problem -- just echo set compatible .vimrc or :w .vimrc Regards, Jürgen -- Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.
