Some years ago I published the reg string here to start RGui in a selected Windows directory via right key click without keeping a cmd window open. That string no longer works in Vista/Windows 7. Below is the alternative. It assumes that rgui is on your path, or that you have Gabor's rbatch installed and on you path.
http://batchfiles.googlecode.com If you must use an explicit path to RGui, use the short path name, or find out how to escape double quotes in registry/shell. (\ or \\ or """ does not work).
