[R] How to start default browser on R

[Stephen Liu]

Hi David,

Thanks for your advice.

According to the Example on ?browseURL I tried:

1)
browseURL("file:http://www.r-project.org", browser="C:/Program Files/Internet 
Explorer/iexplore.exe")

It starts a small windows asking for permission to accept ActiveX
-> OK

IE doesn't start

2)
browseURL("file:http://d:/R/R-2.5.1/html/index.html", browser="C:/Program 
Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe")

same result as 1) above


What I have missed?  TIA


B.R.
Stephen L
