If I am already able to open R, there is no need to post the request
here. I want to be able to run R without knowing where it is from
another software package. Your batch files fit in this purpose, and
the only problem is it is a little bit slower since it takes time to
look for R in the system

In terms of a personal use, that is absolutely fine. From the
perspective of a developer, you cannot stop a user from upgrading to
newer versions. Perhaps it is a matter of personal taste; I'm worried
more about adapting to latest versions than maintaining old versions.
If the new versions works
My suggestion was to mimic *nix systems: put the executable binaries
in the same place *by default* (e.g. /usr/bin/ or /usr/local/bin). Why
isn't the default bin path for R under *nix something like
/usr/bin/R-2.13.0/? If the users want to install multiple versions,
they still have the choice to

Except that there is not such thing on Windows! The closest to that is the
system folder which is off limits
There are plenty of good reasons for non-developers to run different
versions of R. For instance, I care a lot about reproducibility. With
every new release of R, lots of things change. With every new release
of the packages I use, lots of things change. All of my analyses are
performed

First, you are still able to install multiple versions of R to any
places that you want -- I was suggesting a default place to install R
under Windows. If you remember the process of installing R under
Windows, there is a step in which you can choose where to install R.
Second, to modify the PATH
1. I know there is not such a thing; that why I said mimic and the
same place (***/R/bin instead of ***/R/R-x.x.x/bin).
2. Yes, I never mess with the PATH variable under *nix, because R is
installed to /usr/local/bin/ (or /usr/bin/) *by default*, which is
already in the PATH variable. Otherwise

Thanks! But I'm sorry this is not what I wanted. I just hope we can
call R as a command like we do under *nix -- this will make it easier
for *other* software packages to find R.
BTW, for the cmd package: if we were evil enough, we can directly
execute this in R to permanently set the PATH

I also prefer to keep the old versions.
Sometimes, I have spent time to set up the system with older version
and don't want to update to the latest (e.g. the new RGtk2 needs
updated GTk2 as well) because the older still works and I don't need
the new features.
