Disable saving history

Question

Is it possible to disable saving command history / session in R by default ? I really hate those .RData and .RHistory files !!

Answer 1

Even more flexible (Windows), add R and RStudio to your right-click menu so you can start in any directory

R-Gui: save the following in a file rguihere.reg, and double-click

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\RGui]
@="R Gui here"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\RGui\command]
@="cmd.exe /c \"pushd  %L &&start rgui --no-restore --no-save\""

RStudio

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\RStudio]
@="RStudio here"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\RStudio\command]
@="cmd.exe /c \"pushd %L &&start C:\\PROGRA~1\\RStudio\\bin\\rstudio.exe\""
