Rename application file

Hi
Is there a way of renaming the application file itself while it is running? I saw somewhere a code snippet to do it and I think it is possible but I can't remember how.

Well, if you're simply trying to rename the application file, using the FileSystem.Rename command.
You can use [code2=vbnet]FileSystem.Rename(My.Application.ExecutablePath, "NewName.exe")[/code2] -- I don't know if this will work while the application is running, but it's worth a shot!

Haha, it worked. Didn't know that it would do that without giving an exception that the file is in use.
Thank you very much
