pathogen not loading nerdtree

Question

I've got pathogen in .vim/autoload and i've got nerdtree within my .vim/bundles directory. I've also got

filetype off
call pathogen#helptags()
call pathogen#runtime_append_all_bundles()
filetype plugin indent on

in my .vimrc file

for whatever reason though, when i run vim, NERDTree doesn't run.

Any suggestions

Answer 1

Is NERDTree really within .vim/bundles? It should be in .vim/bundle.

_{Also, note that you should put the call pathogen#helptags() line after the call pathogen#runtime_append_all_bundles() line, or it won't generate tags properly. I'm not sure why so many blogposts about pathogen have it the other way around.}
