[R] lost association for .RData files

[Tim F Liao]

If you right click the file icon of any of the RData files 
in Windows Explorer, the click Open With, and then Browse 
and Choose the R executable file icon in the R folder under 
Program Files (and make sure "Always Use This Program" is 
chosen), then you should be able to get the default back.
