# Unpack .zip to wherever

Contains THORIUM.BAT for running portable/standalone.
	- Also contains THORIUM_SHELL.BAT for running the Thorium Content Shell.
	
Append --disable-encryption --disable-machine-id to THORIUM.BAT to disable user profile encryption and tying it to a specific machine, to enable truly portable usage. 
 Note that this will remove things like passwords and history the first time it is enabled, so back up your stuff or make a new user profile.

You can also skip using THORIUM.BAT and just copy the contents of BIN somewhere, and run thorium.exe from within. 
 Note this will make a profile dir in C:\Users\$USERNAME\AppData\Local\Thorium\User Data\ and write a few registry values.

BIN - Contains Thorium
	- Contains thorium_shell.ico for setting an icon for thorium_shell.exe if you make a shortcut.

USER_DATA - Contains user profile data.

Thanks for using Thorium and feel free to use the issues or discussions for problems, questions, features, or suggestions.
