The fact that updates are going to your Documents directory means you don't
have to switch to administrator privileges to update your packages. This is a
very good thing, not a problem. R will pick and choose from your library
directory before falling back to the system directory so you should always be
working with the latest versions of packages. The system directories won't get
updated, but it won't matter unless you share your Windows machine with another
R user, and even then they will have control over updating their library
directory when they want to.
The software itself must be updated as administrator, but that is rather
infrequent compared to package updates. The R installer usually triggers a
dialog that does this for you, so you shouldn't have to think about it.
