Vindicator209 Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 Hey, this is probably a simple question, i've seen it done. but you konw how when you run your program and look it up in the taskmanager, its generally the file name? how can I change the process name? I want my program to be securely run from a starter program, named Run.exe, but I dont want it to show as that on the task manager, I would want it to say "Application Launcher.exe" or something.Thanks, MethodZero [center]"When you look at old, classic games like Snake, you often put it off because it's such a simple game, but it's only when you actually try and create your own unique game from scratch, do you finally appreciate those games."[/center][center]Don't ask for answers if you haven't TRIED yet![/center][center]Most answers can be answered in the help file!

covaks Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 To change that, you would have to modify task manager, or hook the native api calls it uses to retrieve that information. An easier way: FileInstall("Application Launcher.exe","Application Launcher.exe") Run("Application Launcher.exe") ^ That would be your Run.exe. And just have Application Launcher.exe delete itself when finished.
