Dear Ranjan,
I'm afraid the command "options(help_type = 'text')" will not work if R is
closed and opened again as the 'help_type' argument is set to 'html' by
default in Windows (same for me).
That's a default, but you can change it when you install R if you don't
want to find the file to edit. A re-install that de-selects most of the
components won't delete them, so it's a quick way to change the startup
defaults.

You should better modify the 'C:/Program Files/R/R-X.XX.X/etc/Rprofile.site'
file with a text editor, as it is entitled: "Things you might want to
change" (and this is the case indeed!)
So move the # character in the following section from:
# set the default help type
# options(help_type="text")
options(help_type="html")
to:
# set the default help type
options(help_type="text")
# options(help_type="html")
and the 'help_type' argument is now definitely set to 'text' in Windows.
Hope this helps!
Clement
