I can't seem to set anything with mapping of NERDtree with gVim on Windows 7 64bit. Tried autocmd to run it,

autocmd VimEnter * NERDTree 
autocmd BufEnter * NERDTreeMirror

nope.

Tried :map <F2> :NERDTreeToggle<CR> and oh so much more. :map <F2> or <f2> reports no mapping set. :map shows a lot of NerdT functions.

I can type :NERDTreeToggle to get the directory but it starts from C:\ and takes forever to load. Can't map it. Can't run bookmarks. So tired...

Sorry I'm a newb with gVim. Want to use it for rails development and I always wanted to learn vi

gvimrc states:

set visualbell t_vb=

Key issues:
map to a function key
load a particular directory not root/drive
world peace and I need a beer

Thanks for any possible direction
