Re: [R] Why does R start in wrong working directory despite R_USER setting?
I would like the startup working directory to be that pointed to by
R_USER.
In Windows, right click on your R desktop shortcut (or create a new one
pointing to Rgui.exe) and on the properties tab, change Start in: to
%R_USER%
R will then start 'in' the R_USER directory if R_USER exists (that is, the
working directory will be set to R_USER's contents).

Hi Mauricio,
You can also run a directory selection file by including something like this:
source(SelectAnalysis.R)
in the .First function (see An Introduction to R, section 10.8
Customizing the environment). Mine currently looks like this:
cat((A)custudy\n(I)nterval analysis\n(O)mbo
mapping\nR\n(C)ourse\nStressaly(Z)er\n)
answer-toupper(readline(Choose the project - ))
if(answer==A) setwd(/home/jim/research/im/acustudy)
if(answer==I) setwd(/home/jim/research/interval_analysis)
if(answer==O) setwd(/home/jim/research/ombo/mapping)
if(answer==R) setwd(/home/jim/R)
if(answer==C) setwd(/home/jim/bitwrit/R_programming_course)
if(answer==Z) setwd(/home/jim/research/stressalyser/naomi)
print(list.files(pattern=[.]R))
options(browser=konqueror,editor=kwrite,show.signif.stars=FALSE)
This should work on any system, regardless of your privileges.

My preference is to start in different working directories depending on which
project I am working on. R_USER is not a project directory. One way to do
that is to double-click on an RData file located where you want to start.
Another way is to create a new shortcut in each directory. Another way is to
add a line to your script that sets the directory appropriately, though that
makes sharing the scripts harder. Another way is to use RStudio projects.

Hi
After launching newly-installed R 3.2.1 (on Windows 7), I run the

Sys.getenv('R_USER')[1] C:\\Users\\my username\\Documents
I would like the startup working directory to be that pointed to by

I don't have administrative access to the machine.
Many thanks for any insight anyone can provide.

Assuming you are using the GUI you can use the Properties of the
shortcut to tell R where to start.
