Hello R-help,
I currently have R-project 3.4.2 and R-studio 1.1.383
installed on some of our universities computer labs. Since the installation of
Visual studio the default version of R installed has changed to the version
installed by VS. Users can change the default R version: found in R studio
global options but users need to do this every session. Is there a file or
setting found on the pc where this information is kept? If so, where is it
found.
Cheers,
Adrian

Alternatively refer to the R Installation and Administration manual, which discusses the various user and site configuration files. There may be a Windows registry entry also. -- Sent from my phone.

If you hold down the Ctrl key as you're starting RStudio, you can choose which version of R to start. For me, that choice persists; I don't know if it would for Adrian.
