Hi Kye, I have never gotten .R files to work quite like other types (e.g., double-clicking a .PDF) in Windows. AFAIK there is no simple way to do it, because you do not edit scripts directly in R (I am happy to be corrected if someone knows better). For general use, I would just open R first and then open the file, or if you just want to run the file, you can use R's batch mode from the Windows command prompt.
