my vimrc backup

This is more like a backup for my vimrc file. Whenever I change to a new machine, I start missing my vim settings and memorizing stuff like this is not one of my good habits :).

set nocompatible

set backspace=indent,eol,start " allow backspacing over everything in insert mode
set nu " Set line numbering on
set nobackup " do not keep a backup file, use versions instead
set history=50 " keep 50 lines of command line history
set ruler " show the cursor position all the time
set showcmd " display incomplete commands
set incsearch " do incremental searching
map Q gq " Don't use Ex mode, use Q for formatting

" Switch syntax highlighting on, when the terminal has colors
" Also switch on highlighting the last used search pattern.
if &t_Co > 2 || has("gui_running")
else
set term=xterm
endif
syntax on
set hlsearch

" Only do this part when compiled with support for autocommands.
if has("autocmd")

" Enable file type detection.
" Use the default filetype settings, so that mail gets 'tw' set to 72,
" 'cindent' is on in C files, etc.
" Also load indent files, to automatically do language-dependent indenting.
filetype plugin indent on

" For all text files set 'textwidth' to 78 characters.
autocmd FileType text setlocal textwidth=78

endif

" toggle paste / mouse mode
map :call InvertPasteAndMouse()
fun! InvertPasteAndMouse()
if &mouse == ''
set mouse=a | set nopaste
echo "mouse mode on, paste mode off"
else
set mouse= | set paste
echo "mouse mode off, paste mode on"
endif
endfunction

set tabstop=2
" set softtabstop=2
set shiftwidth=2
set expandtab
"set mouse=vc
set autoindent " always set autoindenting on
set smartindent

Microsoft Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel for Windows XP

Found this cool virtual cd-rom driver from Microsoft today. Although its not as flexible as free products from Alcohol Software or Daemon Tools, its considerably small and fast. Unfortunately, its probably only for Windows XP.
