The Rprofile file is there, I see it.

When I launch Rstudio the effects of the Rprofile do not show,
e.g., I want the prompt to be "R> " instead of the default "> ".
The former doesn't show.

top: "When installing on a 64-bit version of Windows the options
will include 32- or 64-bit versions of R (and the default is to
install both)." So is it possible that RStudio is looking at a
different version of R than you believe it should be, perhaps at
the 32 bit R versus the 64 bit one? The result at the beginning of
this thread makes me think you got the 32-bit one connected to
RStudio.

off-topic for Rhelp and you should have been searching or posting
question either to the RStudio support or StackOverflow. Looking
at the responses to the queries above and the ones found below, it
appears to me that there are RStudio-specific issues that go
beyond what is in the `help(Startup)` or equivalent
`help(.Rprofile)` page. I gave an instance of an SO search
upthread and I offer another SO search:

to post a question there with full description of your efforts and
content of your .Rprofile file and your current environment
variable settings.)
