You set this on the properties of the shortcut you use to start R,
just like any other Windows application.
R's working directory is always initially the directory it is started
from.
This *is* in the FAQ:
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#How-do-I-run-it_003f
even though we do not pretend to give a Windows tutorial.

Hello everybody,
I'm new in the R world and I'm struggling to set the working directory.
Up to now, I just set it up every time I start R ( 'setwd()' ) but I'd like
it to be set automatically. I've read the FAQ as well as the help on Startup
('?Startup') about the environment variables and profiles but I could not
understand what to do: which command line, which variable, which file etc.
I hope you'll be able to help me.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Ivan
