What I recommend is to add a new filetype.vim in one of the following

places (shown as they would appear in Vim):



- Single-user on Windows

        $HOME/vimfiles/filetype.vim


I actually prefer creating a file per filetype in
$HOME/vimfiles/ftdetect, as detailed at the beginning of
:help new-filetype


vim help doesn't mention anything about vimfiles directory...

It does,

     :help vimfiles
     :helpgrep vimfiles

but not explicitly in the file containing ":help new-filetype".

It would make the Vim documentation very wordy to mention both
$HOME/.vim for Unix and $HOME/vimfiles for Windows everywhere that
directory is referred to, so it is expected that the reader knows
that in most cases where "~/.vim" is used, that that directory is
used on Unix and that the Windows equivalent is $HOME/vimfiles.
