@John Beckett:
Thanks, that did the trick. However, there's still one more annoyance... I thought VIM\VIMFILES was the right place to put vim files for all users, but if I download the ps1 files from vim.org and move them to that location as Admin, only the Admin user has access to them. The rest of the users have access to all the files under VIM \VIM72\..., but not to the newly moved ps1 files under VIM\VIMFILES. I can't figure out how to grant access to these files to all users of my computer (Windows XP Home). Right now, my ps1 config files are located in my regular user's $HOME \VIMFILES.
