Suppose your working "R" directory is C:\My Working Directory
I hope now that you have installed the R, you must be having "R ICON" on your desktop. Right click on this icon, then click on Properties. Once that box is opened, you will find a tab called "Start in". There within the " " type C:\My Working Directory. So it should look like "C:\My Working Directory" Then click on OK. So whenever you execute "R" henceforth, this will remain your working directory till the time you change it using above process. I hope I have addressed your query. Of course others may be having different efficient methods to do it.

To: r-help@r-project.org Date: Tuesday, January 4, 2011, 9:35 AM Hi, Just installed R on a new Windows 7 machine (as admin). I feel quite uncomfortable knowing that the default WD when starting R is: > getwd() [1] "C:/Windows/system32" I guess I did something wrong when installing R... How to change R's default working directory? regards Eryk ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
