I did already ask the list some suggestions which have been well taken into account but unfortunately have not completely resolved my problem. I seem to have 2 files of Rprofile.site on my computer. If I open the file through " programm files/R/etc/rprofile.site"  on my editor I get a different file than if I go on "Display file(s)" on the File option of the menu bar on R. Anyone has an idea why this is happening? Where is R going to find this file?

The latter case generally looks in the current directory, which would be 
unlikely to be R_HOME/etc unless you had explicitly set it there.
