Yeah, thanks. When the Electrum standalone is launched from a USB drive, it actually presents you with a wizard and asks you if you want to load a wallet or not.

I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!
Copy default_wallet from Electrum datadir[1] and put it in your USB. Then, open Electrum portable and open default_wallet from window. Alternatively, you can export seed and then import it in your portable wallet.
Always keep your seed safely!

Just put my wallet file anywhere on my USB drive and in Electrum go to File ➜ Open?
So I put the standalone executable available on Electrum.org on my USB drive, but how exactly do I apply my current wallet file to that executable?

Hi. How exactly can I transfer my wallet to a USB drive? I lost Internet but a neighbor was nice enough to lend me her wi-fi, but I'm gonna reserve any secure online stuff for the library, so I need to put my wallet on a USB drive.
