Comment #18 on issue 28 by [email protected]: out of the box, gVim 7.3.46
for Win32 cannot write swap files on Windows 7
https://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=28
I also found a solution that seems to work for all of the windows 7 gvim74
utilities.
In the C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim74\mswin.vim file I inserted this
command after the " Last change: 2012 Jul 25
(line 5)
set directory+=%TEMP%
Now when I open gvim as any user, :set directory? shows
directory=.,c:\tmp,c:\temp,~\AppData\Local\Temp
which is writable, and does not ignore my "start in" settings for the icon
when opened from the desktop or the start menu. I still modify the "start
in" shortcut attribute to %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%, just so I am not in
c:\windows\system32 when opening a new document.
The downside, is remembering this setting until a writable directory is the
default installer setting for gVim.
