R help - Jun 2022 - Is it possible to set a default working directory for all R consoles?

Hi all,

Is there some way to set a default working directory each time R.exe is opened?
I ask this because Always that I open R 4.2.o in Windows 10 I get the next
warning messages

Warning message:
In normalizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) :
  path[1]="\\172.19.2.44\profiles\profiles\me\Documents": Access is
denied
Warning message:
In normalizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) :
  path[1]="\\172.19.2.44\profiles\profiles\me\Documents": Access is
denied
Warning message:
In normalizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) :
  path[1]="\\172.19.2.44\profiles\profiles\me\Documents": Access is
denied
Warning message:
In normalizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) :
  path[1]="\\172.19.2.44\profiles\profiles\me\Documents": Access is
denied

Even from cmd.exe in a  C: location

C:\Users\me>R
Warning message:
In normalizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) :                       
path[1]="\\172.19.2.44\profiles\profiles\me\Documents": Access is
denied
Warning message:

Reading
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#What-are-HOME-and-working-directories_003f,
first I cannot apply the suggested solution (I cannot see such "shortcut?s
properties"), and second, I am not interested just in Rgui, or even
RStudio, but other terminals running R (like VSCode-radian or
SublimeText-Terminus)

Thanks in advance.

Best wishes,

Iago

Is there an environment variable containing that IP address?

     as.list(grep(value=TRUE, "172", Sys.getenv())) # as.list to make
printing nicer

If you know which variable is causing the problem you may be able to
override it by setting an R-specific one.
