Hello,

I need to provide the simplest possible indication to R users with either
windows or macos machines on how to change working directory. Using setwd() will
not work because I cannot trust them to even understand the concept of working
directory.

On macos it is possible to have a GUI menu (the standard R GUI) that would allow
the users to "click their way to where their data files are", is there
such facility for the windows R GUI (the out-of-the-box one)? I have no access
to windows machines, so I cannot check, but I am sure some people will use a
windows laptop.
