As a workaround you could try using a shortcut in the SendTo menu. http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Add_Vim_to_Windows_Send_To_menu One of the problems with this is you don't get anything except the basic "open this file in vim" option. This script (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4214) allows you to at least enter multiple files at once from SendTo, if that's a problem for you. Caveat: I've no experience with Windows 7 so it might not work. (If you do try the script and it doesn't work I'd like to know.) regards, Geoff -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
