comment How do I edit files in the console when connecting to windows 7 via ssh?
For one thing, I don't see how Notepad.exe could display on your local PC over an SSH connection. SSH can forward X11, but it's not Remote Desktop, unless Tuneler does something clever. Similarly, gvim.exe probably won't show up locally either. Have you tried running console-mode vim.exe instead?
