Check your 'runtimepath' option. It is a comma-separated list of
directories (each of which is the root of a tree); it should normally
contain the following values (or their equivalents after substituting
environment variables):
$HOME/vimfiles
full-fledged scripts, private to the current user
$VIM/vimfiles
system-wide full-fledged scripts
$VIMRUNTIME
scripts distributed together with Vim
$VIM/vimfiles/after
small system-wide tweaks to any of the above
$HOME/vimfiles/after
small user-specific tweaks to any of the above
Each of these trees has the same structure; any particular directory or
subdirectory doesn't need to exist unless you have something to put in it.
The values of the environment variables are what Vim sets them to at
startup; they don't need to exist outside Vim. Typical values are
VIM=C:\Program Files\vim (on Windows) and VIMRUNTIME=$VIM/vim72 (for Vim
7.2 on any platform). I know my use of / and \ as path separators is not
very consistent.
If the above seems OK, then it's probably at the OS level rather than at
Vim level.
I don't know how Windows XP can allow or forbid read access to one user
over files belonging to a different user. (Write access is not necessary
in this case). Maybe it's in the Windows registry somewhere, but where?
Your guess is as good as mine.
Best regards,
Tony.
