How can I set the Task Manager description for my program?

I have a CLI program and I'd like to modify the description shown for it in Windows Task Manager.

I tried setting Description in the Assembly Info, but this only changes the .exe's Properties > Details.

Under the Project properties, click Assembly Information and set the Title field. You'll have to run without debugging to see the description display correctly in Task Manager.
