You just need to fix your registry as follows:


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.RData]
@="RData_auto_file"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RData_auto_file]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RData_auto_file\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RData_auto_file\shell\open]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RData_auto_file\shell\open\command]
@="\"c:\\Program Files\\R\\rw1090\\bin\\RGui.exe\"
\"%1\""


Of course, you need to specify the correct path here ...


The Setup Wizard does that job for you, but having uninstalled the old 
version *after* installing a new one has deleted the keys.
