I recommend using a personal library directory unless you really are an
administrator of a computer that multiple users of R use (very unusual for
Windows). The install program offers you the opportunity to create an
R/win-library/ directory. If you do this and make a habit of never updating "As
Administrator" then you won't have to worry about permissions getting screwed
up. This strategy actually works quite well on Linux as well, and I imagine
would be a good strategy on any OS. The only thing you would need to elevate
permissions for is to upgrade R, and Windows UAE will prompt you for that when
you run the install.
