HTA Application Name not showing up in Task Manager

I have an HTA application that I have the HTA tag set with the Application name. Refering to Microsofts page (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692768.aspx) the Application name tag will be the name that is displayed in the Task Manager. For some reason this is not displaying in any task manger I run on Windows XP SP 3 machines. I need this to display as an application in task manager because I have code in the HTA which actives the window:
set wshell=createobject("wscript.shell")
wshell.appActivate("MyHTA")

Any ideas on why this dose not display?

<html>
<head>
<title>HTA App</title>

<HTA:APPLICATION
     APPLICATIONNAME="MyHTA"
     SCROLL="yes"
     SINGLEINSTANCE="yes"
>
</head>

This is a bit more of a complicated solution but it works. According to the Microsoft page the ApplicationName is what should be listed in the Task Manager Application list, not title. However neither is listed in the task manager which is why your solution for finding the Process ID works and activating that will have to work.
