In the vimrc:
:set viminfo+=n$USERPROFILE\\My\ Documents\\_viminfo
- "+=" adds to the default value, to have the "'"-item
(E528: Must specify a ' value)
- the :set command requires the extra backslashes
- just assumed that $USERPROFILE can be used
:echo $USERPROFILE
:set vi?
viminfo='100,<50,s10,h,rA:,rB:,n$USERPROFILE\My Documents\_viminfo
or with command-line parameter
:h -i
