[R] file.choose()

[Ivan Calandra]

That's what I was about to answer but tried first and it did not work.
Now I tried more and noticed an unexpected behavior:

getwd()
[1] "C:/Users/.../Documents"
file.choose() ## opens in "C:/Users/.../Documents" as expected

setwd("D:/")
getwd()
[1] "D:/"
file.choose() ## unexpectedly, opens in "C:/Users/.../Documents"

setwd("D:/Data")
getwd()
[1] "D:/Data"
file.choose() ## opens in "D:/Data" as expected

Is that normal behavior?
