Vim is still too clever...

Some time ago I mentioned that I was having problems with Vim and using it on Japanese XP. Well, I thought I had solved them but I still have a few issues.

If I open Vim from the Program Files menu and choose Easy Vim, it comes up in the Japanese language. If I open it elsewhere then it has the English menus as specified in the _vimrc file in my home directory. I wonder why it ignores it in this case.

More annoying is that, when I type normally I get ascii by default (because of the iminsert=0 command I added _vimrc) but when I do an incremental search it switches the IME on and I'm back to Japanese again. Arrghghghgh

Just add imsearch=0 to keep vim from using the IME when you search.
