Don't have XP but what Rick suggests works fine in Win 2000. You might even 
get away with the renamed file being a symbolic link to the same executable 
image file but these days it hardly seems to be worthwhile worrying about a 
miserable few megabytes.

In fact I even have prime95 programmed to suspend if a renamed prime95 is 
running - the renamed prime95 is to do special jobs.

The only complication I can think of is if you have some special anti-virus or 
anti-spyware application that for some reason or other doesn't trust files 
that get renamed.
