For example, if my process was weird.exe, how would I change it to cool.exe? Is it possible? or would I have to create another .ahk (in my .exe) and then compile it?

Sincerely,
Kerry

Try this at your command line Start/Run


If you are a member of "The Society of Anonymous Mousepushers" ("Anonymer Mausschubser") - try that at the Windows Explorer:
a) select the file 'weird.exe'
b) choose File/Rename
c) change the name to cool.exe
d) have a beer because you're not weird enough to rename files and that's really cool exe !

God bless you - F2!

hahaha, well that worked

Thank you very much

I've tried this with several processes. Windows tells me it can't find the files.

doesn't work.

Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

First, /k is a cmd option, so you don't need it if you're already in a prompt.

You also need to be in the directory of the file you're trying to change the name of unless you specify an absolute path.



You can ONLY specify an absolute path for the file-in name; ren cannot move a file after renaming it.

I felt the same way

Heh, I've never used 'ren'. I always use 'move', which can both move and rename a file.
