C++ has no notion of process names. Some specific operating systems do. If you mention which one you're using it would probably help.

Edit: There can be any other language, I think I can learn basics very quickly

then use the HINSTANCE params, if you are using a Console app, then look for a tutorial on attaching a Console.
you are handed two HINSTANCE'es, the current instance, and the previuse instance.

I think you can't change the process name through the api without changing the filename. If you explain some more about your working program then it is too easy to tell you.

What do you mean by process name? Do you mean the title of the application in the task bar, or the title seen in task manager process list / process explorer?
