I have 2 (related, I think) questions about positioning of windows within R.

1.       I often work with a second monitor and sometimes like to arrange 1
or more plot windows on the second monitor, while keeping the console on the
primary monitor (so I can see things better). I used to be able to do this
(when using Windows XP), but it seems that now (using Windows 7) I can't
even move the plot window outside of the parent R window. Is this a Windows
7 issue, or something I can fix with R preferences?

2.       When I use the file menu to change directories I noticed 2
differences from Win XP to Win 7. In Win 7, 1) the bottom of the pop-up
window is off the bottom of my computer, and 2) the directory tree defaults
to something close to the root, regardless of the current working directory.
In Win XP, the directory tree defaulted to the current working directory,
which made it easy to jump up one folder, etc. Is there any way to make this
the default behavior?

I am using R 2.15.1

 

Thanks,

Glenn Stauffer
