You've got that error because the standard menu.vim wasn't found. The
point with my approach is that one can leave the distributed files
alone, so that a new version won't cause trouble. To solve this, just
put a dummy script, or a copy of your version, back in C:\Program
Files\Vim\vim73.

The runtimepath option is a list of directories. On Windows the
default is

$HOME/vimfiles,$VIM/vimfiles,$VIMRUNTIME,$VIM/vimfiles/after,$HOME/
vimfiles/after

By early I meant "a directory that comes before $VIMRUNTIME in the
list". I use $HOME/vimfiles, but for a windows installation with
several users all wanting to use your menu.vim $VIM/vimfiles would be
better; you may have to create it.
