In R for Macintosh, there is a Preferences setting that will do this.
You can also drag and drop a file onto the R icon and I believe it
will change the working directory to the directory that contains the
file.
On unix-like systems, using the command line, it's whatever directory
you start R in.
I don't use R on Windows, so I don't know there, but I imagine there
may be a preferences setting, or perhaps the drag and drop method
works. Or maybe create a shortcut in the directory you want to be the
working directory?

Hello, I am using setwd() to change the working directory but I have to enter
it everytime I open R, is there a way to set this permanently as a working
directory? Thanx =^D
