That did it. However the file "R for windows GUI front-end" is named "R.cmd" in R's bin folder. When it is associated with the .Rdata extension, it changes to "R for windows GUI front-end". Weird, but thanks.

Apply the changes, and now double (left) click on the .Rdata file to see if it opens in R's GUI.
