this is dangerous: _vimrc is sourced on every startup, before the
plugins; .gvimrc is not sourced at all in Console Vim and only after the
plugins in gvim. Even on Unix, ~/_vimrc will be used if there is no
~/.vimrc so you could soft-link it under its own name, let's say
something like
cd
ln -sv /mnt/dos/c/Documents\ and\ Settings/princzp/_vimrc
rm -vf .gvimrc
Of course, modify the above depending on the Unix mount point for
Windows C: partition and for the exact name of your Windows $HOME directory.

Ctrl-V and clipboard handling mappings are those set up by mswin.vim.
They are very "un-vimmish" and they hide useful Vim keystrokes, so I
would advise you (and your colleague) not to use them, but after all,
it's your funerals.

Normally, Ctrl-V in Vim starts Block-Visual if in Normal mode, or
Literal insert in Insert or Command-line modes. However, if you source
mswin.vim, it maps it to "paste from clipboard", whose "normal" Vim
command is "+gP

:menu Edit.Paste
in gvim, or after sourcing $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim in a Console Vim with
+menu compiled-in.

Since you called the file .gvimrc on Unix, you won't have a .vimrc then,
and your Unix vim will run in 'compatible' mode, and, if in Console
mode, without sourcing the file at all.

From the above, it doesn't seem to source mswin.vim at all. To use it
(if you still want to after all my warnings above), check that it
contains one (not both) of
runtime mswin.vim
or
source $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim
