I do not want to understand Vista, but on XP a user does not have write permission to files under the "Program Files" directory. If you install from some package (such as "Vim without Cream") you will probably end up with your files under Program Files. I run as a user (not in Administrators or Power Users groups), and put all my tools (and Vim) under a bin directory where I do have write permission. This tip has a little info on where you might put vimrc: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Vimrc John --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
