I have had similar problems.

I have several installations of R and now I have no control over which one
opens when I try opening a RData file.  The RGUI is registered more than
once, but they all have the exact same appearance in the "choose programs"
menu.

It's become particularly annoying now that new versions of R seem to be
published with ever increasing frequency.
