Hi Michael, Thanks for your advice Windows 7 Ubuntu 10.04 (both 64 bits) I have Windows R and Linux R running on VM (guest) of Oracle VirtualBox. Before I tested ANOVA on Linux R. On existing R - q(), I mistakenly typed y resulting in the file .RData created (I suppose). Thereafter on starting R the line "[Previously saved workspace restored]" is displayed. Running; > list.files(getwd(),full.names=TRUE,all.files=TRUE) [1] "/home/satimisub04dk01/." [2] "/home/satimisub04dk01/.." [3] "/home/satimisub04dk01/.adobe" .... .... [41] "/home/satimisub04dk01/R" [42] "/home/satimisub04dk01/.RData" ...... [54] "/home/satimisub04dk01/.xsession-errors.old" - end - On Windows R Starting R doesn't have the abovementioned line displayed. > list.files(getwd(),full.names=TRUE,all.files=TRUE) [1] "C:/Users/Administrator/Documents/." [2] "C:/Users/Administrator/Documents/.." [3] "C:/Users/Administrator/Documents/AOD_V3010287_XpVistaWin7.zip" [4] "C:/Users/Administrator/Documents/ASUSUpdt_V71702_XPVistaWin7.zip" [5] "C:/Users/Administrator/Documents/Default.rdp" [6] "C:/Users/Administrator/Documents/desktop.ini" [7] "C:/Users/Administrator/Documents/EPU_V10022_XPVistaWin7.zip" [8] "C:/Users/Administrator/Documents/ExpressGate_v14910_Patch.rar" [9] "C:/Users/Administrator/Documents/M4A78T-E-QVL.zip" [10] "C:/Users/Administrator/Documents/MB_WIN7_ATK.ZIP" [11] "C:/Users/Administrator/Documents/My Music" [12] "C:/Users/Administrator/Documents/My Pictures" [13] "C:/Users/Administrator/Documents/My SAS Files(32)" [14] "C:/Users/Administrator/Documents/My Videos" Now my questions are; 1) After deleting .RData on Linux R whether the abovementioned line will not popup again? 2) Why on Windows R the path of the folders/directories shows the Administrator; [1] "C:/Users/Administrator/Documents/." ...... ??? Not the user? I login as user. A further thought, I recall that I login as Administrator to install R. Does it matter?. How to change the path back to user? TIA B.R.
