The Windows builds come in three flavors:

1. *setup* - this will properly install Electrum-FTC on Windows including
adding icons to the Desktop and Start Menu. The installed exe has the
fastest startup time of all three flavors. Most users want to use this flavor.

2. *standalone* - this is an exe that does not need any installation. It
will use the ``%APPDATA%`` folder to store settings and wallet data.

3. *portable* - this is an exe that does not need any installation. It will
use the folder where the exe is located to store settings and wallet
data. Therefore, it can be used on an USB pen drive to use Electrum-FTC
on multiple computers - hence portable. This flavor is most interesting
for testers who don't want to interfere with their existing installation
of Electrum-FTC.
