Unless the five users are using the same login, making sure that their bundles use different ports and paths should be sufficient. I don't use TBB or Windows, so I don't have any concrete suggestions. If the users don't need access to Tor's control port (or trust each other) you could also consider using a single Tor instance listening on multiple ports that is always running. This would probably require lots of TBB changes, though. > The links I've seen so far for accomplishing this are: > > <http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/proxies/345716-tor-question-trying-run-multiple-instances.html> > <https://svn.torproject.org/svn/torbrowser/branches/macos/docs/two-firefox.txt> > <http://kikistidbits.blogspot.com/2011/11/running-multiple-instances-of-tor-under.html> > <http://serverfault.com/questions/136072/how-to-run-multiple-instances-of-tor> > > Would you consider these to be efficient guides for accomplishing this > goal?

I'm using Privoxy for this, but my use case is different (one user, multiple applications) and in your case adding Privoxy to the mix would complicate things without being necessary (unless you want to use Privoxy for other reasons anyway).
