I think this is the problem! You're using a Windows Vista or higher, right? If so, "My Documents" isn't a real location. The actual disk location is just Documents. Not all programs can use the fake "My Documents". For example, even cmd.exe itself doesn't handle "My Documents" properly! Example: C:\Users\Ben>cd "My Documents" C:\Users\Ben\My Documents>dir Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is C8FF-79BB Directory of C:\Users\Ben\My Documents File Not Found C:\Users\Ben\My Documents>cd ..\Documents C:\Users\Ben\Documents>dir Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is C8FF-79BB Directory of C:\Users\Ben\Documents 02/03/2014 01:34 AM <DIR> . 02/03/2014 01:34 AM <DIR> .. Can you use vimdiff, from C:\Users\wolf\Documents (rather than My Documents)? -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
