Hello, [I've set a reply-to to vim's mailing list and your email address; you may need to be registered to post on this mailing-list]
Just a little note first, I use the win32 version of vim since the version 5.8 (the beta version 6.3a is very recent) and cygwin. So far, I have no problems. My $HOME directory for windows (XP) and for Cygwin is set to f:\users\Luc (or the cygwin's equivalent). I do not wanted it to be function of how I launch gVim. * On Tue, May 11, 2004 at 04:30:46PM -0700, Peng Yu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > /cygdrive/d/Program\ Files/vim/vim61/gvim.exe > > When enter the above command in cygwin, gvim window popup.

This file is searched according to what is said there: :h .vimrc This should help you find your _vimrc. otherwise, you can add call confirm('.vimrc in '.expand('%:p:h'), '&Ok', 1) in every _vimrc, .vimrc, _exrc you can find on your system to be sure which one you are using. > In addition, it creates a file _viminfo in my home directory versus > using the default _viminfo in "D:\Program Files\vim\" This is a safe setting IMHO. > Do you have any idea about make gvim use the default _viminfo file > without writing a new file in my cygwin home directory? Once you have found where your _vimrc is stored, set the option viminfo accordingly to your wishes. :h 'viminfo' HTH -- Luc Hermitte http://hermitte.free.fr/cygwin/ http://hermitte.free.fr/vim/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
