It is called minecraft.exe, and is probably on your desktop. It is what you click on to start minecraft. Copy this into your newly created 'bin' folder. Now you need to copy the actual core minecraft files over to your flash drive. These files are the things that make minecraft run and work. Find your.minecraft folder.
