[python-win32] How do I change the executable/process name to un-group taskbar icons?

[Nathan McCorkle]

I've been writing GUIs with wxPython for a while now, and am trying to
figure out now how to get each program not to group into a generic
'pythonw' taskbar icon.

I found this API, but it doesn't work on my version of Windows XP:
SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID

Is there some other method to change things?

Thanks!

Hhm, not sure but I think using wx.App.SetAppName should do that.

Didn't help :( My GUI is still grouped with all the other pythonw
processes I've got open.

See here for an update and some code that uses the pywin32 stuff to
mess around with TaskManager (I think... I adapted the code from some
Visual Basic code I found online):
