VM Process name

Hello,

I am using vmware workstation 12.

I am wondering is there some way to change process name of virtual machine in task manager?

As it stands for now, when I start two virtual machines they have the same name of their processes (vmware-wmx.exe) so It is easy to mix them.

You can use Process Explorer. When you hover the mouse pointer over the name of the process, a tooltip will show the path and arguments to the executable. In the case of vmware-vmx.exe, you will see the path to the VM.
