+<a href="http://www.freehaven.net/~edmanm/torcp/">TorCP</a> into
+one package, with the three applications pre-configured to work
+together. Privoxy is a filtering web proxy that integrates well
+with Tor. TorCP is a Tor controller that allows you to monitor
+and control Tor.

-You can enable this by checking the "Run at startup" box as shown below.
-Be sure to leave the other boxes checked.

-<br />
-
-<p>After installing Tor, you need to configure your applications to use it.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-The first step is to set up web browsing. Start by installing <a
-href="http://www.privoxy.org/">Privoxy</a> (click on 'recent releases',
-then scroll down to the MS Windows installer packages). Privoxy is a filtering
-web proxy that integrates well with Tor. Once it's installed, it should
-appear in your system tray as a "P" in a circle, as pictured below:
-<!-- Exit from
-Privoxy for now by right clicking on the "P" icon and finding the exit option.-->
-</p>
-

-
-<p>Add the line <br>
-<tt>forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 .</tt><br>
-to Privoxy's config file. Don't forget to add the dot at the end.
-The easiest way is to select the above line and copy/paste it into
-the file. Be sure to save.

-
-<p>Privoxy keeps a log file of everything passed through it. In
-order to stop this you will need to comment out two lines by inserting a
-# before the line. The two lines are:<br>
-<tt>logfile privoxy.log</tt><br>
-and the line <br>
-<tt>jarfile jar.log</tt><br>
-Be sure to save.
