you're changing the name of the launcher and not the program in the Apps directory, you should be ok. I'm not sure why you'd wand to, but yes, it should be fine.

You may not do that. That will break it.

I needed to change the process name to the same as the launcher so that object dock can detect the process. any work around to either change one of app name to the exact same name?
Any other value will do, but almost none of our apps will work correctly if the launcher is named the same as the process it launches (because when it gets to checking for whether an instance is already running or still running, it just uses the process image name—i.e.
chrome.exe—and not the full path).I am a Christian and a developer and moderator here.

Why don't we use the full path?
We're not only detecting the portable process; we're also detecting local instances. They won't be in the same path.
