The Windows task manager won't display the entire command line, so
there's now way to know what's what? Seems like a problem in the

Are you sure? I only see that on the Applications tab, which shows
window titles; not on the Processes tab which shows the actual process
names (on Windows XP).

True; on Windows, only the window title is changeable.
