    You are seeing vshost32.exe because you are running under the debugger. That’s just the name of the host process used by the debugger and you cannot change that. Well, I suppose you could but it’s not what you want to do. You want to change the name used by your executable.

    When you run without debugging, as your users will, the application name displayed on the taskbar app popup is determined by the assembly name specified in the Application page of the project config. So, just change that to whatever you want and there’s nothing more to do.
