Somehow, I've managed to have my .Rdata files become `disassociated' from the R program. I am running Windows XP Pro. I have re-installed R 2.4 in an attempt to have it re-associate itself with .Rdata files, but to no avail. .Rdata files are now associated with a file compression program or alternatively with Rgui.exe. .Rdata files are represented by the blue R, but double-clicking on them only produces a micro-second display of a DOS window and disappears. How do I get R and .Rdata back together again? (Of course, I can still access my .Rdata files by starting up R and parading down my folder tree, but this is no fun.) Joseph F.

Did you try to right click on the file, select "Properties", and in the "Opens with" dialog select "change" and then select "R for windows GUI front-end". Apply the changes, and now double (left) click on the .Rdata file to see if it opens in R's GUI.

That did it. However the file "R for windows GUI front-end" is named "R.cmd" in R's bin folder. When it is associated with the .Rdata extension, it changes to "R for windows GUI front-end". Weird, but thanks. -----Original Message----- From: r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch [mailto:r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch] On Behalf Of Francisco Zagmutt Sent: Friday, November 17, 2006 10:56 AM To: r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: Re: [R] Getting R and .Rdata together again Did you try to right click on the file, select "Properties", and in the "Opens with" dialog select "change" and then select "R for windows GUI front-end".
