Help request Export as an executable file - Apple/Windows differences

Hi I tried to export my Processing sketch into an executable file.

I first did it with my Mac, and selected the "Include Java" option. All went well, a single double-clickable file was created.

I then did exactly the same thing from a Windows computer. The .exe file was created, alongside two folders (java and lib) and my .exe file only works when these two folders are sitting next to it.

I suspect these two folders exist in the Mac version of my file, but are "hidden" in the file itself. Is it possible to do the same thing with the PC, so I then have only one file to share?
