Cant change memory usage in R

I am trying to change the memory usage for R on a windows 7 machine. I go to the desktop shortcut > properties and try to change the target from "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.0\bin\i386\Rgui.exe" to "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.0\bin\i3开发者_JAVA技巧86\Rgui.exe" --max-mem-size=500M

as per this post https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2010-June/241154.html

But I get an error message "The name '"C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.0\bin\i386\Rgui.exe" --max-mem-size=500M' specified in the target box is not valid, make sure the path and file name are valid."

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I just tried it. It works fine on my machine. Maybe you entered the --max.. in the "execute-in"-field instead of the "target"-field. If this is not the problem try this: create a .bat file and enter yourpath\Rgui.exe --max-..., then create a shortcut to that .bat.
