Hello,
[I've set a reply-to to vim's mailing list and your email address; you
may need to be registered to post on this mailing-list]
Just a little note first, I use the win32 version of vim since the
version 5.8 (the beta version 6.3a is very recent) and cygwin. So far, I
have no problems.
My $HOME directory for windows (XP) and for Cygwin is set to
f:\users\Luc (or the cygwin's equivalent). I do not wanted it to be
function of how I launch gVim.

Do you have a _vimrc in your $HOME ? This file is searched according to
what is said there:
:h .vimrc
This should help you find your _vimrc.
otherwise, you can add
call confirm('.vimrc in '.expand('%:p:h'), '&Ok', 1)
in every _vimrc, .vimrc, _exrc you can find on your system to be sure
which one you are using.

This is a safe setting IMHO.

Once you have found where your _vimrc is stored, set the option viminfo
accordingly to your wishes.
:h 'viminfo'
