Comment #14 on issue 28 by [email protected]: out of the box, gVim
7.3.46 for Win32 cannot write swap files on Windows 7
http://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=28
If you do this (all by itself with no other changes) in your _vimrc, and
your _vimrc is getting sourced, then it should work for you:
set directory=.,$TMP,$TEMP
But you say this does not work? What does ":verbose set dir?" tell you? It
should point to expanded directory names. Note that C:\TEMP and C:\TMP do
not exist on a default Windows 7 install, so if you still had the manual
setting of $TEMP and $TMP in your _vimrc when you set your directory, that
would have failed.
Also, have you tried installing a Vim version >= 7.4.112? That is the
version which fixed this particular issue (by making the defaults for 'dir'
and 'bdir' include the temp directories).
