What are the major differences between Anarchism (any type) and anarcho-communism? Is there any specific way each type seeks to bring about revolution, or set up society differently after the fall of capitalism?

Anarchism may refer to either anarcho-communism or anarcho-collectivism. Anarcho-communism constitutes a direct transition to a communist society and anarcho-collectivism believes that we will permanently stay at a socialist stage (by the Marxist definition minus the state).

All anarcho-communists are anarchists. Most anarchists are anarcho-communists. However, there are anarchists that are not anarcho-communists. Anarchist communism (or communist anarchism, maybe, not that it matters so much) would best be described as a way to "set up society differently after the fall of capitalism," as you say.
