Question

Is is possible to change the name of the w3wp.exe for a certain application pool? I'm using IIS 7.5 of Windows 7.

When I start debugging it is really hard to distinguish between processes (as all of them are called w3wp.exe). It would be very nice if I could change the name of the process.

This is what I see in my Visual Studio:

Solution

After reading the discussion, the answer is: no, you can't.

OTHER TIPS

Try this: Go in IIS Manager and find your app pool. Right click on it and choose Advanced Settings. Change Identity (under Process Model section) to ApplicationPoolIdentity.
