Here's something I use (in a batch file):

Rterm --no-restore --file=EveningStartup.r


Change EveningStartup.r to your particular file. When you create the shortcut, make sure to set the working directory to where your R script is located. Then in your file, you could have the graphs write out to a png file in a specified directory.

I've written a simple script that does some surveillance analysis on daily 
counts of walk-in clinic visits, for our county health department. (Actually, 
Michael Hohle's surveillance package does all the work; I just customized it a 
little to work with the way our data are recorded.) The output consists of a 
graph and a little table.

My colleague will run it once in a while, on continuously updated data. She knows nothing 
about R, at least not yet. I want to make it as simple as possible. Rather than have her 
open R and type source("filename"), I want to be able to put an icon on her 
WinXP desktop, so that when she double-clicks it, R will open, run the script, and up 
pops the graph.

I've been trying to learn about R CMD BATCH, playing with the dialogue boxes 
for WinXP desktop shortcuts, etc, but no luck so far. I guess I don't know 
enough about Windows.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?  Thanks.
