You can run it from a USB stick (in fact: could you just run it from a USB stick instead of your machine?) so presumably it would work if you just had the files on your machine without actually installing it. If you miss the registry keys for local menu "Edit with Vim" you could at least put a shortcut in your SendTo directory to get a similar effect. The only problem you might come across AFAIK is when starting you get a message "Cannot Load registered type library : Do you want to register", and you may not have the privilege to agree. If you say "No" you can't use OLE functionality. (If you want to register every time you use Vim and unregister afterwards, search for the thread with phrases "Cannot Load registered type library" "Do you want to register" at http://groups.google.com/group/vim_use) Caveat: I use vim 7.2 on my USB stick. I got it onto my USB stick by copying the files from a machine where I had it installed properly, so you'd need that to start with. regards, Geoff -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
