I know this is a bizarre request. I would like to prevent Vim from going to my Home directory. The reason is that my IT department has mapped my home directory to a laggy network drive with a login script. I can't override the Windows environment variables which set up the home directory, because the login script overrides my settings.
I can set up the environment in a DOS box, but I like to be able to invoke Vim by using the "edit with vim" context menu item. Any advice on how to workaround this issue? Vim keeps grinding to a halt while waiting for a response from the network drive, so I have to solve this. If there's no way to workaround it in Vim, then I will contact IT to see if they can change my login script. Best Regards, Paul Stone
