Tor Made More Portable

The Tor Browser made portable - compressed Tor Browser into 1 exe file - instructions to make your own included (for Windows PCs)

IMPORTANT!!

This executionable extracts the browser files to AppData\Local\Temp, which, as a TEMP folder, one would think that it would be deleted after next reboot.

However, MS made it so that unlike Linux, Windows doesn't delete files/folders inside the TEMP folder - you have to do it manually

I'll put in a script to clear the data automatically someday, but until then...

How to make your own

winr+r

On your PC, Window-key+r and type iexpress and enter

i0

From here, just follow my screenshots and click next

Here, if you haven't installed Tor Browser already, do so now.

Make sure you have all the settings done as you prefer, because from now on, you can't change them without going through this process again.

Go to the folder where your Tor Browser is installed, select all the files and folders inside Tor Browser/Browser and compress it without compression (store options) (iexpress will compress it anyways, so this way is faster to unpack) and name it Tor.zip

Add Tor.zip in iexpress, and then add Tor_Launcher.bat

i7

i8

i9

Enter where you want to save the Tor_Browser.exe file

i11

i13

And then you're done!

(You can remove the normal Tor Browser install on your pc if you wish, the created Tor_Browser.exe will run independently.)

Usage

Tor_Browser.exe extracts itself into a temp folder, and runs from there.

Therefore, any changes you make to the browser, along with history and passwords etc, won't be saved in the exe.

Click the exe file to launch - it takes a little for the browser to launch since it is unpacking all the files - about 8 seconds for me, but it will vary on the specs of your PC

To Do

Change exe icon so it matches Tor Browser

Change EXE description

Add temp file deletion script
