>By the way, ALL OF THIS could be avoided if Microsoft and Apple provided an API to set the name displayed in Task Manager/Activity Monitor.

The problem is process lists should be showing the true state of the computer. It wouldn't be a good idea to hide the actual executable name. But it sounds like it could be useful to add another column for "label", so that threads could set a label and offer more insight on the process list.
