Start a Command Prompt, then type this command
before and after you run your renamed process:

tlist >> c:\process.txt

Now post the contents of process.txt with your reply.
tlist.exe (or pulist.exe) come with the Win2000 Resource
Kit. I believe a similar tool is available freeli from
www.sysinternals.com.

"Before.txt" lists your executable as "1.exe".
"After.txt" lists the renamed executable as "2.exe".
This is as expected.
