Programs can be rename while running on Windows. I want to get the program's new name if it is renamed. I have tried that but @AutoItExe always returns same value. How can I do this one? Thank you in advance.

$OldName = @AutoItExe

While 1
    If Not $OldName = @AutoItExe Then
        MsgBox(0, "The program has been renamed", "The new name: " & @AutoItExe)
        $OldName = @AutoItExe
    EndIf

    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Who renames the Exe while it is running? A user? The Exe itself?

Why would a user rename an Exe? Couldn't you just set the directory to read-only?

IMHO restricting access is the way to go for a security program.

Everything else is just a workaround.

Just tried and it is easily possible to rename an Exe while it is running.

Though you can't delete the Exe while it is being executed.

There are directory monitors on the forum that should suffice.

Here's one:

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

Did you try to use access permissions as I suggested?

With _>ProcessGetPathEx, you can get the real full path of your running process. There is probably something easier...

#include <Security.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <WinAPIInternals.au3>

; _SetDebugPriv() ; seems not necessary here


$OldName = @AutoItExe

While 1
    $sProcessPath = _ProcessGetPathEx( @AutoItPID)
    If $OldName <> $sProcessPath Then
        MsgBox(0, "The program has been renamed", "The new name: " & $sProcessPath)
        $OldName = $sProcessPath
    EndIf

    Sleep(1000)
WEnd


Func _SetDebugPriv()

    Local $h_curproc = _WinAPI_GetCurrentProcess()
    Local $h_token = _Security__OpenProcessToken($h_curproc, _
        BitOR($TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES, $TOKEN_QUERY))
    If Not $h_token Then
        Return SetError(2, 0, 0)
    EndIf

    Local $n_sdn = _Security__LookupPrivilegeValue("", $SE_DEBUG_NAME)

    Local $t_tokenpriv = DllStructCreate("dword;dword;long;dword")
    Local $p_tokenpriv = DllStructGetPtr($t_tokenpriv)
    DLLStructSetData($t_tokenpriv, 1, 1)
    DLLStructSetData($t_tokenpriv, 2, $n_sdn)
    DLLStructSetData($t_tokenpriv, 3, 0)
    DLLStructSetData($t_tokenpriv, 4, $SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED)
    Local $n_tokensize = DllStructGetSize($t_tokenpriv)
