Sometimes you don't want the user to rename the executable to their choice. This is why I created the function _SelfRename, to ensure the executable stays exactly as you want it.

Function: Using a Batch script. Save as _SelfRename.au3

#include-once
#include <FileConstants.au3>
#include <StringConstants.au3>

; #FUNCTION# ====================================================================================================================
; Name ..........: __SelfRename
; Description ...: Rename the running executable to a different filename.
; Syntax ........: _SelfRename($sFileName[, $fRestart = Default[, $iDelay = 5[, $fUsePID = Default]]])
; Parameters ....: $sFileName           - Filename the executable should be called e.g. Example.exe or Example
;                  $fRestart            - [optional] Restart the application (True) or to not restart (False) after overwriting. Default is False.
;                  $iDelay              - [optional] An integer value for the delay to wait (in seconds) before stopping the process and deleting the executable.
;                                         If 0 is specified then the batch will wait indefinitely until the process no longer exits. Default is 5 (seconds).
;                  $fUsePID             - [optional] Use the process name (False) or PID (True). Default is False.
; Return values .: Success - Returns the PID of the batch file.
;                  Failure - Returns 0 & sets @error to non-zero
; Author ........: guinness
; Example .......: Yes
; ===============================================================================================================================
Func _SelfRename($sFileName, $fRestart = Default, $iDelay = 5, $fUsePID = Default)
    If @Compiled = 0 Then
        Return SetError(1, 0, 0)

Example use of Function:

; Start the SelfRename batch file if the executable doesn't match the same as Example.exe.

Inpired by your script i did another one for autodelete for some scripts i dont want to execute out of his intended directory. Thanks  :zorro:

; #FUNCTION# ====================================================================================================================
; Name .......: __AutoSelfDelete; Author: Zalomalo, inspired in guinness's _SelfRename.
; Description.: AutoDelete executing script because unauthorized bad conditions (bad finemame, wrong path, etc.).
; The purpose is it autodelete as fast as possible and force relog session after return this function, and exiting.
; Is assumed the script is running compiled (exe), and all conditions have been set before.
; Do no error comprobations since have no sense for this purposes.
; Parameters: $iDelay [optional] An integer value for the delay to wait (in seconds) before beging trying to delete the executable.
; Return values: Success - Returns the PID of the bat file.
; Failure - Returns 0 & sets @error to non-zero
; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Func __AutoSelfDelete($iDelay=1)
If Not StringInStr(@ScriptName,'.exe',2) Then Return
Local $sTmpBat=@TempDir &'\TmpFile.bat'
While FileExists($sTmpBat)
   $sTmpBat=@TempDir &'\TmpFile'& Chr(Random(65,122,1)) &'.bat'

   & 'DEL /F /Q "'& @AutoItExe &'"' &@CRLF _
   & 'DEL /F /Q "'& @TempDir &'\*.bat"'

Return Run($sTmpBat, @TempDir, @SW_HIDE)
EndFunc ;==>__AutoSelfDelete

I know this thread is 6-9 years old. People share their code here to inspire others.
I'd like to thank guinness for sharing this piece of code. (3+ months since seen, hope you're well)
This is what I'm using from that.

If _SelfRename() Then Exit ; if the filename doesnt match (MyApp.exe), auto rename and resart
Func _SelfRename()
    Local $sFileName = 'MyApp.exe', $sAppID = @ScriptName, $sTempFileName = @TempDir & '\temp.cmd'
    If $sFileName = $sAppID Then Return
    $sFileName = @ScriptDir & '\' & $sFileName
    Local $sData = 'TASKKILL /F /IM "' & $sAppID & '"' & @CRLF & 'TIMEOUT 1' & @CRLF & _
            'MOVE /Y ' & '"' & @ScriptFullPath & '"' & ' "' & $sFileName & '"' & @CRLF & 'TIMEOUT 1' & @CRLF & _
            'START "" "' & $sFileName & '"' & @CRLF & 'DEL "' & '%~f0' & '"' & ' & exit'
    Local $hFileOpen = FileOpen($sTempFileName, 2)
    FileWrite($hFileOpen, $sData)
    FileClose($hFileOpen)
    Return ShellExecute($sTempFileName, '', @TempDir, '', @SW_HIDE)
EndFunc   ;==>_SelfRename
