          If you installed vim with default settings from vim.org, then home directory will be created in C:Usersuser_namevimfiles. Where user_name is name of your windows user. I suggest you use pathogen as the easiest plugin manager. You just unpack plugin in bundle subdirectory of your home directory and it works.



          As for second question about c++, i recommend ctags and cscope based plugins for navigation, autocompleters and snippets for fast coding, some useful tools for fast editing. Search for next plugins:



          cctree, cscope_macros
          easytags
          OmniCppComplete, youcompleteme
          taglist, tagbar
          ultisnips/snipmate
          fswitch
          surround
          unimpaired


          Some of them requires long setup and even compilation (like youcompleteme) and python support, but give you more power. =) Good luck.
