First, let’s open Explorer and go to that special location. Next, we need to copy that shortcut into a special location in Windows. To get started, find your folder and create a shortcut to the folder on your desktop.įor example, if I wanted to use the Pictures folder as my default folder, I would right-click on it, choose Send to and then click on Desktop (create shortcut).
I’ve tested it out and the process seems to work just fine.
#Remove default folder x windows
Since there really isn’t any official way to do this, we have to kind of hack Windows to get it to do what we want.
#Remove default folder x Pc
1 means This PC and 2 means Quick Access.įinally, let’s talk about how we can configure Explorer to open up to any folder as the default folder. On the right hand side, look for a DWORD key named Launch To. Just navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced If you need to do this on many machines in a corporate environment, you’ll be happy to know that there is a registry entry that controls this setting also. Just pick whichever folder you prefer and you’re good to go! Now when you open Explorer, you should see it open to This PC selected instead of Quick Access. At the very top, you’ll see Open File Explorer to where you can select from This PC and Quick Access. In the dialog that pops up, you should already be on the General tab. This worked as expected.To change the setting, open Explorer, click on File and then click on Change folder and search options. I then explicitly installed all the packages listed in DESCRIPTION/ that I needed directly into ~/Scratch/4.0.0-lib, so R would find them BEFORE the system packages. I set this up in my ~/.Rprofile, e.g.First.
#Remove default folder x install
libPaths with the path of my local package install directory BEFORE R_HOME/library. I consulted ?Startup and tried things like passing -no-site-file and -no-environ to R at the command line, but I was still unable to remove R_HOME/library from. According to ?.lib.locįunctions or variables listed here are no longer part of R as they are no longer needed I was having difficulty installing a package because the R was not installing the packages listed in DESCRIPTION/ because it was finding them in R_HOME/library pointed to by. I know there have been similar questions asked on this in the past (e.g., here), but the particular problem I'm having is that it's not forgetting the C drive location. (On a side note, I'm trying to switch from the symbolic '\fileu' reference to a reference to the N drive.) libPaths(), I still see this: "\\\\fileu/users$/username/My Documents/R/win-library/3.2" Where the path on the N drive is the new location I want to be the only library path. lib.loc <- file.path("N:/My Documents/R/win-library/3.2") Library.site <- file.path("N:/My Documents/R/win-library/3.2") Library <- file.path("N:/My Documents/R/win-library/3.2") libPaths() does not seem to forget the default location. Rprofile file to set the library location, but no matter what I do. I would strongly prefer to manage my packages on my own, and have a location on my networked drive I can install to, but I am trying to get R to ignore and forget the C drive location entirely.
However, my IT department decided to load the entire CRAN repository in the default library location on the C drive.
I am running R on a networked computer where I don't have write access to most locations on the C drive.
