Hmmm,
I just downloaded that file and I am not really convinced by it. It's
not the same as the releases Bram does.
The Menu entries in the Windows Start Menu are not identical, The
colorful green icons are missing, even the name convention used gVim 7.x
for example is not there.
Looking deeper into c:\programs\vim I see the directory populated with
plenty other directories while my previous Vim installation has just 2
or 3 iirc. Even the dir name is not Vim it's in lower case letters.
IIUC, the only directory Steve Hall's distribution creates in C:\Program
Files\vim is vim70. In Windows, Vim and vim point to the same directory.
I get a dialog all the time starting Vim saying I have to "register
vim".
That's to register gvim with Windows as an OLE application. You only
have to do it once (the first time you run gvim) if you have permission
to write the registry.
I therefore decided to go back to plain 7.0 release version of gVim for
Windows.
