Or you can right-click on the R icon and choose Run as administrator. That way you won't alter the security settings and forget to re-set them. After the packages are installed R will load in the usual way by clicking on the icon.

To avoid these problems you need to go to Computer-> Program Files Right click on the R directory and select "properties". Now select the security tab. Give your user ( which is the use R whose priviledges R runs under) Full Control to the R directory. This should solve the install/update issues. Keep up the good work.
