You might check when you open with other from Windows Explorer that
the check box "Always open with this program is ticked.
If you are using Windows 7 you can set an change default programs as follows -
1 open Control Panel
2 click on programs
3 click Default Programs and follow the options to set the required defaults.
I have never used Vista and dont know if this works in Vista
I suspect the latter method will fail, since it's using the same tools
as "Open with..." uses, and that appears to be buggy. But I'm on 32 bit
XP right now, so I can't verify.

When you installed R there should be shortcuts on your desktop, or under /R/
in the start menu unless you opted for the installation to not create
those.
Click (or double-click) the one that has a name like "R x64 2.13.0" - the
x64 indicates that the shortcut is for the 64-bit R. You won't have this if
you opted not to install the 64-bit R components.
Use that shortcut every time to start R, and when it's running right-click
the task bar item and click "Pin this program to tasksbar" to make it super
accessible.
If you have R older than 2.12.0 then the 32-bit and 64-bit installers are
separate, but you don't specify your version and you should use the latest
in any case.
If you have shortcuts for 32-bit R, or other versions then you'll need to
clean up or organize them in whatever way works best for you.
Cheers, Mike.

Oh, of course, sorry. I'm running Windows 7. Thanks!
Your question is probably a question for Microsoft. Why doesn't whatever
you did work?
Someone here might be able to help if you describe what you did. I just
tried "Open with..." and selected Rgui.exe from the bin/x64 directory, and
that failed. A couple of other things I tried worked:
1. Edit the registry key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RWorkspace\shell\open\command
2. Rename the bin/x64/Rgui.exe file to something else, and ask to open
with that.

Hi Everyone,
This may be a dumb question, but I can't seem to figure it out. I
have
32 and 64 bit versions of R installed on my machine, and I'd really
like
the 64-bit version to be the default (i.e. what opens when I open up a
workspace). I've tried right-clicking on the workspace and setting
the
default option as the 64 bit version, but it still opens the workspace
in 32-bit. Am I missing something here? Any help would be greatly
appreciated!
Shirley, you don't expect us to read your mind. OS?
