Dear Federico
If they click on File in the top left hand corner and then Change dir in
the drop-down menu if opens a file explorer type window where they can
click on directories (folders in MS-speak) in the usual way. That does
not get round the problem that they need to know where they put the file
in the first place of course but it might help some of them.

Hello,
I need to provide the simplest possible indication to R users with either
windows or macos machines on how to change working directory. Using setwd()
will not work because I cannot trust them to even understand the concept of
working directory.
On macos it is possible to have a GUI menu (the standard R GUI) that would allow the
users to "click their way to where their data files are", is there such
facility for the windows R GUI (the out-of-the-box one)? I have no access to windows
machines, so I cannot check, but I am sure some people will use a windows laptop.
