   Agreed that you're correct it might work for other batch files.   
   Just not gvim.bat - and even then - it still could be a local problem.   
      
   Thanks for that sound advice.   
   Here's the gvim.bat file installed during the initial setup process.   
      
      @echo off   
      rem -- Run Vim --   
      rem # uninstall key: vim82 #   
      
      setlocal   
      set VIM_EXE_DIR=C:\bin\vim\vim82   
      if exist "%VIM%\vim82\gvim.exe" set VIM_EXE_DIR=%VIM%\vim82   
      if exist "%VIMRUNTIME%\gvim.exe" set VIM_EXE_DIR=%VIMRUNTIME%   
      
      if not exist "%VIM_EXE_DIR%\gvim.exe" (   
          echo "%VIM_EXE_DIR%\gvim.exe" not found   
          goto :eof   
      )   
      
      rem check --nofork argument   
      set VIMNOFORK=   
      :loopstart   
      if .%1==. goto loopend   
      if .%1==.--nofork (   
          set VIMNOFORK=1   
      ) else if .%1==.-f (   
          set VIMNOFORK=1   
      )   
      shift   
      goto loopstart   
      :loopend   
      
      if .%VIMNOFORK%==.1 (   
          start "dummy" /b /wait "%VIM_EXE_DIR%\gvim.exe"  %*   
      ) else (   
          start "dummy" /b "%VIM_EXE_DIR%\gvim.exe"  %*   
      )
