You have to place the gnuplot.ini (not wgnuplot.ini, thats just for
the windows GUI) file in the $APPDATA directory, which usually is
<your home directory>\appdata\roaming

(For some unknown reason, the ~\appdata directory is hidden by
default. First thing I change on every windows machine, right after
disabling the system sounds.)

Enter "set APPDATA" on the command line to check.

Or you reinstall gnuplot and choose a different default terminal in
the installer.
