+# Advanced Configuration Options
+
+## Detached Mode (Best Experience)
+
+Out of the box, starting vlc-discord-rpc will open VLC, and closing VLC will close vlc-discord-rpc.
+This is the "attached" mode, and it is the default because "it just works" in most cases.
+
+Detached mode will not open VLC for you, and closing VLC won't close vlc-discord-rpc.
+It requires a bit of tweaking, but once it is configured, it allows you to open and close VLC as
+you normally would and still show a rich presence.
+
+### Instructions
+
+These instructions apply to all platforms. For a visual guide, see
