(setq ess-r-versions nil)  ;;  *BEFORE* ess-site is loaded (!)

has the desired effect for me.
Are you sure that you set this *before* loading of ess-site?

As you tell us you are using Windows, are  you using  Vincent Goulet's
 Emacs+ESS+... combination?
It could be the problem, because I think ess-site is already loaded  by the
"global" site-start  Emacs startup configuration.

Can anyone confirm?
