Yes, that works (screen shot attached). So it was the just the fake "My Documents" directory the whole time. I vaguely remember when I first got Windows 7, I renamed "My Documents" to "Documents", then later Windows automatically changed it back to "My Documents", and I left it that way. Thank you for sticking with me through so much trouble shooting. Your help is is much appreciated. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
