Vim settings file on Windows

Question

I can\'t believe I am typing a question for a simple thing like this but here we are. I can\'t for the life of me figure out what the exact name for the settings file is for vim

Answer 1

On Windows systems, the best way to find the value of $HOME is from within Vim, as follows. These commands are useful to see what directories your Vim is using:

:version
:echo expand('~')
:echo $HOME
:echo $VIM
:echo $VIMRUNTIME

Note the system vimrc file and user vimrc file paths displayed by the :version command. The system vimrc file can be created by an administrator to customize Vim for all users. In addition, each user can have his or her own user vimrc.
