With a default installation of R on Windows platforms, packages are stored
under Program Files/R/R-3.X.X/library. This often causes permission problems,
as this directory is always read only by default, requiring the user to either
change permissions for that directory or to change the directory where packages
are stored later on option wise through modification of .libPaths in .Rprofile.
For most users I imagine this is slightly annoying, having to do this over and
over. I was just wondering if the default directory to store packages on
Windows platforms could therefore not better be made the personal library
folder, Users/Username/Documents/R/win-library/3.XX/, or perhaps even better,
Users/All Users/Documents/R/win-library/3.XX/, so that downloaded packages are
available for all users ?
