Brian, how do I remove the relevant old Registry entries?
That is not an R question. Our sysadmins do it ....
Thank you!

I have Windows 7 Enterprise and two versions of R installed: 2.15.3 and 3.0.0. Before I had R 3.0 I made it a setting that all .RData files - when I double-click on them - were opened by R 2.15.3. Now I want them to be opened by R 3.0 instead of R 2.15.3 (but I don't want to remove R 2.15.3. yet). I right-click on some .RData file, select "Open with" - "Choose default program" and then click on "Browse". I browse to the folder where my R 3.0 is installed, then to the folder "bin", then to the folder "x64" and select "Rgui.exe". However, when R opens - or after I shut R down and then double-click on some .RData file and R opens, it is again R 2.15.3, not R3.0. What am I doing wrong? Of course, when I open R 3.0 directly, then it opens no problem. This is really a question about Windows 7, not about R, but I would guess you aren't telling it to make your choice permanent, or perhaps you are not allowed by your administrator to make permanent changes to file associations. You should ask for local help. We've encountered this for our student accounts, and think it is a bug in Windows 7. If you remove the relevant old Registry entries first it should work. -- Brian D.
