If you right click the file icon of any of the RData files in Windows Explorer, the click Open With, and then Browse and Choose the R executable file icon in the R folder under Program Files (and make sure "Always Use This Program" is chosen), then you should be able to get the default back.

files. They
are now associated with a text file editor. When I right
click on any
.RData file and try to change the association, R is not
listed as a
choice of program. I browse to c:\Program Files\R\rw2001
\bin\Rgui.exe
and select that file to open .RData, but Windows does not
then place
Rgui.exe in the list of programs to use. I can open
any .RData file by
dragging it onto the R desktop icon, but cannot double-
click any .RData
file to open it. This problem has persisted through several uninstalls of
old versions
and upgrades to new versions of R. I found no mention of
the problem in
the mail archives. Windows XP R 2.0.1 Thanks, Richard Valliant [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
