it sounds to me as if the oS install had sourced the
$VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim, which contains the following code:

   " When editing a file, always jump to the last known cursor
position.
   " Don't do it when the position is invalid or when inside an
event handler
   " (happens when dropping a file on gvim).
   " Also don't do it when the mark is in the first line, that is
the default
   " position when opening a file.
   autocmd BufReadPost *
     \ if line("'\"")>  1&&  line("'\"")<= line("$") |
     \   exe "normal! g`\"" |
     \ endif

you can either source that same file (dangerous in my opinion) or
add the above code to your .vimrc

hth,

I don't think it dangerous. Just check what it does: that file sets a lot of useful settings; if there are some among them that you don't like, you can override them after the :source or :runtime statement, which should be near the top of your vimrc. For instance if you find filetype-related autoindenting too "bossy" you can use

        runtime vimrc_example.vim
        filetype indent off

One exception: setting menus & messages languages (if desired) must be done before the menus are set up, i.e., before invoking the vimrc_example.vim (if you do, and before any ":filetype [plugin] [indent] on" or ":syntax on" if you don't).


Best regards,
Tony.
