Dear R2008, In Windows 2000, I used the following shell extension to allow right-click rgui start in a directory (assuming rgui.exe is on the path:
----- REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Run R] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Run R\command] @="Rgui.exe --no-restore --no-save --internet2" ---- I switched to Vista this year. For reasons I don't understand, I have to give the full path now, even if rgui is on the path. However, the solution below does not really work, getwd() is always in \windows\system32. I tried several cmd.exe "..." variations, without success (strangled by "\""\"?) And a nasty feature of Vista is the long delay of 19 seconds until a command box comes up on my computer. To avoid RTFMs: I know how to do this with setwd(). Dieter ------ Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Run R] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Run R\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-2.6.0\\bin\\Rgui.exe\" --internet2 --no-save --no-restore" ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
