The USB stick solution is what I have done. I create a few shortcuts to gvim.exe by altering the drive letter the shortcut refers to so that one of them will work, regardless of which of a handful of drive letters the USB stick is assigned. Vim itself doesn't use the registry, and if you avoid adding icons to the menus/Desktop, avoid OLE registration and opt out of the "Edit with Vim" context menu, then it would leave only a very small trace on the system. -- Erik Falor Registered Linux User #445632 http://counter.li.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
