Hello!

Please bring up vim and try

:scriptnames

Does netrw show on that list? Alternatively, type

:echo g:loaded_netrwPlugin
:echo g:loaded_netrw

If the first one gives an error message about an undefined variable,
then netrw's plugin/ script hasn't been loaded. If the second one gives
an error message, then netrw's autoload/ script hasn't been loaded yet.
The latter one isn't loaded until its asked for, though (via a command
that invokes it, such as :e .).

Do you have

filetype plugin on

in your .vimrc? This command enables plugins (and if you also want
indent scripts, then you might prefer filetype plugin indent on).
