What is the answer to

:verbose set acd?

(the :verbose prefix will make it tell you where it was last set). Maybe
it is set back and forth.


OTOH the autocommand you listed above is not in the proper format. Check
where it is being defined. You should see something like

au! BufRead,BufNewFile * chdir C:\Users\jm\conf\home\jm\vimfiles

with no "autocommand" before au! and no parentheses; though even that
seems to me to be a little overdoing it. You ought to be able to set
that current directory once in the vimrc and never change it.

Another thing: Vim 7.4.32b i.e. 7.4.beta32 is very old, even older than
Vim 7.4.000, and now we're at 7.4.131 and counting. Please retry with
the latest Vim found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/cream/files/Vim/


Best regards,
Tony.
