I have found life to be considerably simpler since I have stopped using
Run-As-Administrator. If you use it at any point with R, various files
throughout your filesystem become accessible only when you use RAA again... it
is like heroin... use begets more use. If you restrict your use of admin
privileges to only the Times when UAC prompts you for it (installation), and
use a User library for all your packages and package updates, then you avoid
tainting those various file permissions and struggling with the hassles that
creates.
