[R] trouble with html help

I have this problem with R 2.6.1 and 2.7.1 (have not tried others)
running on Windows XP:

Html help has wrong links to help files. The index.html is correctly
found from

file:///C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-26~1.1/doc/html/index.html

as well as the search engine

file:///C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-26~1.1/doc/html/search/SearchEngine.html

However, when I search for, say, "paste", I will be pointed to

file:///C:/PROGRA~1/R/library/base/html/paste.html

which of course does not exist. Changing this manually to

file:///C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-2.6.1/library/base/html/paste.html

leads me to the correct page.

Any views on how to fix this? I have installed 2.6.1 to another laptop
without such problems, therefore I suspect that the problem would be
somehow related to the settings of this particular laptop. However, I do
not know where to look.

Cheers,

Samu
