And if so why? You might also want to consider setting g:netrw_keepdir=0 in your .vimrc. By default g:netrw_keepdir is 1, which means that the current directory is not necessarily the same as the browsing directory. If you set it to zero, then the current directory (that vim displays with :pwd) will be the same as the browsing directory. Regards, Chip Campbell

Explore directory of current file If you want to explore an arbitrary directory, then just add the directory that you :cd into to the :E command. I don't know of a command to browse the current working directory, sorry! Max To browse the current directory (under Vim 7), use :edit ./ I suppose :Explore . (with a dot at the end) would also work, including in earlier Vim versions where Explorer was a different plugin than netrw. The single dot means "the current directory". Best regards, Tony.

Thanks, Paul. Have you set 'autochdir'? If yes, then the directory where the current buffer resides _is_ the current buffer... unless you haven't changed buffer since the ":cd".
