Not all of the parallel packages with in Windows, but doParallel is one that does.  Here is how to start it with 3 cores:

library(doParallel)
cl <- makeCluster(3)
registerDoParallel(cl)

It will automatically load the foreach package provided you have it installed.  Please see the documentation for foreach for examples.

Thanks,

Roger

I did quite a bit of googling. it is not clear to me if it works now on Windows or not. it is pretty slow even if I have turned off my debug,verbose or print. any idea?
