When you start you R session, see if it says [Previously saved workspace restored]
immediately before the first command prompt. I think the only way a workspace can be restored automatically is if you used save.image() at some point, in which case it would save all objects as a hidden file called ".RData". Another way a different workspace would have been saved if it was specified in .Rprofile, Rprofile.site. See help(Startup) for more information about the order of files that R reads in.
