Hi,
to me it's no clear what you mean by "prevent Vim from going to my Home
directory". I'm using Vim on windows, too, but he never asked me for a
HOME directory. Instead, the _vimrc file is kept in $VIMRUNTIME, which
by default on XP is C:\Programme\Vim\vim70. Therefore, all you have to
do is to put
your _vimrc there and all should work fine.
Cheers

I know this is a bizarre request. I would like to prevent Vim from
going to my Home directory. The reason is that my IT department has
mapped my home directory to a laggy network drive with a login script.
I can't override the Windows environment variables which set up the
home directory, because the login script overrides my settings.
I can set up the environment in a DOS box, but I like to be able to
invoke Vim by using the "edit with vim" context menu item.
Any advice on how to workaround this issue? Vim keeps grinding to a
halt while waiting for a response from the network drive, so I have to
solve this.
If there's no way to workaround it in Vim, then I will contact IT to
see if they can change my login script.
