You can create a right-mouse menu command to run an R program as follows (although the details may be different for different versions of Windows). In Windows Explorer: 1. Tools / Folder Options / File Types 2. find the extension for R files and push Advanced 3. add a new action called "Run" with command as follows: "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.10.1\bin\Rterm.exe" --quiet --no-save --no-restore -f "%1" If/when you have a different version of R installed, you'll need to adjust the above command.

I've tried associating the .r extension with the different R .exe's in /bin but none seems to work. Some open R then close right away, and Rgui.exe gives the message ARGUMENT "/my/file.r" __ignored__ before opening a new, blank session. I've tried Google and looking in the R for Windows FAQ but didn't see anything. Thanks. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R ( http://www.r/ )-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
