Haven't followed this thread, but... 1) IF you are on WIndows and 2) IF you like to open R and load .Rdata files by double clicking on the files
THEN if you right click on the file, the "Open With" dialog allows you to browse to_particular_ RGui (presumably the latest) you wish to use and there is a check box to make this the default choice whenever you open that kind of file. HTH. Otherwise, Uwe's comments apply, of course. (I'm a drag and drop kinda guy myself).
