gVim on Windows

Have you used gVim editor on Windows (xp)? I am talking about the GUI version of vim that you can click the icon on desktop and the gVim editor pops-up and you can create/edit files.

Here's my problem: When I use vim editor on cygwin to create/edit files the file creation mask is set to a specific value (in my case 077), so when I create/edit files, this file creation mask forces the file to be created within that mask.

However, when I open the gVim (by clicking the icon) and edit or create files it always overwrites the file permissions if the file already exists or when I create a new file, it sets the file permissions to some values that I don't like.

I am sure there is a way to tell gVim to comply to some specific file creation mask instead of a default. I made research online and tried to modify the .vimrc or _vimrc file but without success..

Does anyone know how to solve that problem..?

Thanks in advance..

VITMP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  VITMP(1)

NAME

       vitmp - edit temporary files

SYNOPSIS

       vitmp [VIM options] FILE...

DESCRIPTION

       vitmp is a wrapper around the VIM editor which may be used to invoke the editor in a way that is guaranteed to be suitable for editing tem-
       porary files used with programs such as crontab(1) and edquota(8).  The instance of the editor that is invoked is /bin/vi.

       In particular, it is guaranteed that the file, if edited, will be overwritten in place such that the modified contents may be read back via
       a previously obtained file descriptor.  Invoking the editor via vitmp also makes sure that no additional editor temporary files are used.

       Please note that vitmp offers no crash recovery capabilities.  If the editor crashes during the overwrite, data may be lost.

HISTORY

       vitmp first appeared in Openwall GNU/*/Linux 1.0.
