I have Tor/privoxy downloaded and running. Have the "P" in the green circle and the onion with the checkmark showing in the icon tray.
I am using netscape for my browser while surfing (MSN DSL is my primary provider) and is set up for port 8118 and has
forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 . showing in the privoxy configuration line.
My usual process for secure surfing is to first log on to the net through my isp. Then I fire up the proxy system, and then start up netscape browser which is configured for privacy thanks to Who The Kid from CW.
I have arranged for Tor to start when pc starts up.
When I downloaded Tor/privoxy a icon was made on my desktop screen. When I clicked it, it installed Tor/Privoxy onto my pc and both icons showed up in my icon tray activated because I clicked the "run this file now" box at the end of the installment.
But after turning off my pc and then rebooting it, only the Tor onion icon showed back up and active in my icon tray and the only way I can get the Privoxy to start up again and the icon to show in my icon tray is to click on the install icon on my desktop and go through the 30 second install routine again and leave the "run file now" box checked and then I am up and running again.
SOOOOOOOO, my question is how can I get the Privoxy part of things to start up right away at pc start up or at least get a icon on the desktop that just starts the privoxy instead of always having to re-install it even with it already being on the pc?
