how to change the process name in taskmanager with vb6 program

i want to change the process name of vb 6.0 compiled EXE.

For example, i made an EXE with the name Setup.EXE when i run this EXE and open a task manager, i found a process name Setup.exe running in process tab with in taskmanager.

i want to change its process name other than Setup.exe in process tab with in taskmanager. how i code it to change the process name programatically inside the vb code.

thanks

I doubt it is possible... but more importantly, why would you want to do it?

yes it is possible, but it is not posible in simple way. i searched on it and found that, by using some API with complex coding we can do it.

if some body know an easy way to change the process name not similar with EXE file name in process tab of taskmanager.

I strongly suggest you answer this...

I now it have been some years ago, but I needed the information as I work in a company that still uses VB6 and they wanted to change that.
You do this:
Click File --> Make [name of exe].exe... --> Options... --> Under the tab called "Make" you find a section called "Version Information". Youu select the type "File Description" and change the process name here!
