How to disable vim system global plugin?

[Sean]

Hi,

Is it possible to ignore the existence of the system global plugin
directory?

I know we can set "noloadplugins", but I want to enable ftplugin and
indent plugin.

For example: I found the following scripts were loaded whenever I open
vim:

9: C:/usr/share/vim/vim72/runtime/plugin/getscriptPlugin.vim
10: C:/usr/share/vim/vim72/runtime/plugin/gzip.vim
11: C:/usr/share/vim/vim72/runtime/plugin/matchparen.vim
12: C:/usr/share/vim/vim72/runtime/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim
13: C:/usr/share/vim/vim72/runtime/plugin/rrhelper.vim
14: C:/usr/share/vim/vim72/runtime/plugin/spellfile.vim
15: C:/usr/share/vim/vim72/runtime/plugin/tarPlugin.vim
16: C:/usr/share/vim/vim72/runtime/plugin/tohtml.vim
17: C:/usr/share/vim/vim72/runtime/plugin/vimballPlugin.vim
18: C:/usr/share/vim/vim72/runtime/plugin/zipPlugin.vim

My workaround is to set the following variables in my .vimrc:

let g:netrw_silent=1
let g:loaded_rrhelper=1
let g:loaded_gzip=1
let g:loaded_getscriptPlugin=1
let g:loaded_vimballPlugin=1
let g:loaded_netrwPlugin=1
let g:loaded_zipPlugin=1
let g:loaded_tarPlugin=1
let g:netrw_use_noswf= 0

I am wondering if there is better way to do it?

Thanks

The 'loadplugins' option (and the equivalent --noplugin command line
switch) only stops regular plugins from loading, not indent scripts or
filetype plugins.

Doesn't happen for me when I launch with a .vimrc with :set
noloadplugins, or with vim --noplugin.

But, note that this will also stop plugins in directories other than
the system directory from running... if you still want to use the
plugins in ~/.vim, you'll either want to remove the systemwide paths
from 'runtimepath' then do "runtime! plugin/**/*.vim" and restore the
old value of 'runtimepath' - or some such.

Great. This solution worked for me:

set runtimepath=$VIM/vimfiles
runtime! plugin/*.vim
set runtimepath=$VIM/vimfiles,$VIMRUNTIME

Now, I am able to control which plugin to use.

Thanks
