The basic command for this is setwd() (for "set working directory")
You can save your workspace after you use the setwd command, and this will create a .RData file in that directory. In windows you can click on the .RData directory to open R using that particular working directory. You can always check on the current working directory using getwd(). Another useful command in this context is save.image (see ?save.image for details) Abhijit Bill Shipley wrote: > Hello, and Happy New Year. My default working directory is getting very > cluttered.
