 Hi, I am using Win8 and extracted Tor to my Desktop. I dont want to run
 "Start Tor Browser.exe" cause I dont want to use TorBrowser. I need to use
 Chrome. So I went to /Tor and executed "tor.exe". With that I can use tor
 in my Chrome, that's nice.

 However when I change the Data/Tor/torrc to include some configurations
 they dont take effect in my Tor. I close it, open it and it's like if my
 torrc never existed. So how to I make Tor dont ignore torrc if it's
 executed directly from /Tor/tor.exe ?

 One last problem: when I go to cmd and type:

 start "" "C:\Users\XXX\Desktop\Tor Browser\Tor\tor.exe" -any-parameter-
 here

 the tor never starts. I check it on Task Manager and it never opens. Only
 if I remove the -any-parameter-here it starts fine.

 Thank you for solving this problem.

 My tor version is the latest.
