title: Setting up gVim on windows
body: <p>I am trying to get gVim working on a windows 7 machine and am having the following problems:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Whenever I try to change the _vimrc file, I get a message saying that I don't have permission to save in this location. This is on my home pc btw.</p></li>
  <li><p>I can't seem to change the directory where the files I edit are being saved. They are all being saved to my desktop at the moment. I tried :set dir=path to where I want to save... with no success.</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I wanted to run through vimtutor; however, whenever I type vimtutor into cmd, vim flashes open for a second then closes.</p>
  
  <p>How do I alter the _vimrc file and how do I set the destination for edited files? </p>
