How can I set the current process's name in task manager? For example, I have "application.exe", when I run it, it shows application.exe in task manager. I want to change this without having to change the current executable's name or spawning a child process. This is an application without any GUI.
I know some programs already do this, like notepad++.
Task Manager shows the File Description / Assembly Title of the executable file.
You can change that via the user interface in Visual Studio by going to the project properties of the executable project:
Or change the file AssemblyInfo.cs in your executable project:
[assembly: AssemblyTitle("Fancy Application Name")]
This string will then be shown in Task Manager:
