For that I created the R file C:_default.R with the following content:įinally I added a new shortcut to Rgui.exe to my desktop with the target set to: "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.X.Y\bin\i386\Rgui.exe" R_PROFILE_USER="C:\Users\MyNAME\R\Rconfigure_default.r" Actually, VirtualBox requires admin privileges because it loads a driver. Is there a command in R we can run to check this has worked Also, the article is 'Windows install without admin priviledges', but downloading RStudio and clicking the installer pops the admin permission right away. If you still want to use the cygwin ping use cygping.

libPaths())) will make this directory the default directory for any additional packages I may want to install, and as it is put at the front of my search path, library will find them first as well.The next step is to enable R to execute the above command at start up.

But then again the limitations set by the IT department can spark of some creativity. It is not unusual that you will not have admin rights in an IT controlled office environment. Heres an option: 'Local Admin' group in AD - that group is added into the Administrators group on each applicable device - when a user needs the rights, add them to the AD group and get them to log off then back in hey presto LA rights until you remove them from the AD group.
