[R] Setting .Rprofile for RStudio on a Windows 7 x64bit
I believe someone already mentioned it, but notepad makes it hard to save a file without the ".txt" extension to its name. R does not do anything with .Rprofile.txt, only .Rprofile, so you must figure out a way to work around notepad's mangling of the file name.

Doing anything as Administrator means you are probably already in file permissions hell. R works great if you avoid Administrator mode entirely... using it raises the complexity of every step you take drastically. -- Sent from my phone. Please excuse my brevity.

Bill: I did workaround. I created the Rprofile files with file type R, not txt.

[R] Setting .Rprofile for RStudio on a Windows 7 x64bit
Use the R command
dir(c(".", Sys.getenv("HOME"), R.home("etc")),
pattern="Rprofile")
to see if there are any file names with the unwanted ".txt" and use
file.rename() to fix them up.
