Undo --no-restore in R

During the installation process I have set R to not restore the workspace and now want to undo this - how is it done?

Solution

    • If you are using RGui from a windows shortcut, edit the short cut to remove the --no-restore flag.

    • If you are using R through, Rstudio, look under Tools-->Options-->General and select the appropriate option

    • For other IDEs there should be similar ways to set start-up options.

    The other option would be to reinstall R the way you would like it to be done.
