I installed the Notes plugin by Hari Krishna in gvim on Windows Vista
64, but I can't set the path to the directory for storing the notes.
I've created directories named "notes" in several locations, but no
matter what path I try in my _gvimrc, I get this error on reopening
Gvim:

"Notes: Configured root doesn't exist or is not a directory"

This is the path I would like to have:
C:\Users\bc\My Dropbox\LatestVim\notes

Following as best I could the instructions for the plugin, I tried
innumerable variations on this:

let g:notesRoot = 'C:\Users\bc\My Dropbox\LatestVim\notes'

I tried changing to forward slashes, still didn't work. I substituted
'~/' for the 'C:\Users\bc' part. Thinking maybe the space in "My
Dropbox" was the problem, I tried a different directory, even

let g:notesRoot = '/notes'

Nothing works. I even tried changing the single quotes to double
quotes. Can someone enlighten me as to what exactly I need to put as
an argument to the "let g:notesRoot = " thing?

BC,
For one thing, you should be aware that _gvimrc is not sourced until *after* plugin/notes.vim has been sourced.

:help startup

Try putting the assignment to g:notesRoot in your vimrc instead of your gvimrc.
