If you haven't already gotten an answer you may want to try logging out and back in. I recall having some issues with the Environment variables in windows.

Hey All, I've defined a HOME environment variable as %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%. In a command prompt, if get the following: echo %HOME% C:\Documents and Settings\<user ID> In gvim, I get the following: :e $HOME\ which expands to :e c:\Documents\ and\ Settings\<user ID>\Application\ Data\ Is there some reason why vim is ignoring the HOME variable I've set? What is interesting is that my _viminfo is being read from C:\Documents and Settings\<user ID> just fine.
