Change Task Manger title for win32 console app

I am trying to change the name of my win32 console application in task manager. In c# console project I can set the AssemblyTitle in project file and it would work but for some reason when I can't achieve the same result here.

Solution

  • First, right-click the Resource file to add a .rc file.

    Then double-click the .rc file to enter the resource view, right-click the resource file and select Add Resource, and select Version.

    In the VS_VERSION_INFO, you can modify the FileDescription to your application name (of course you can also modify other application information.).

    Finally build the project and this works for me.
