Hi Anze, I'm not sure that this will work on Windows, but you can create a function named ".First" (note the leading period) with something like this:
.First<-function() setwd("C:/Users/anze") To do this, start a session, enter the above line and then quit the session, saving the current workspace. When you start R again, it should change to that working directory. Of course you should make sure what your home directory is.
