Menus have different process names on different machines

Hi there,
we have a small problem regarding process names of menus and context menus. I think I solved it, but I would still like to know why it occured in the first place.
When we are accessing menus and context menus in our application, a generic Java process is started. So all the elements from this process will be in a different section of the Ranorex repository than the rest. What is interesting about this, is that the name of the process seems to depend on the machine running the Ranorex Studio. On my laptop, the process is called "javaw", on a virtual machine it is called "designer". Therefore a test recorded on my laptop won't run on the virtual machine. I solved this by simply deleting the process name. This is only the second best solution, however, since you always have to remember to do this.
Do you have any idea, why the process names are different? What's the best way of dealing with this? I would like to provide a snaphot, but since it is a context menu, I can't take them. Whenever I open up the spy again, the context menu is gone.
Thanks very much.
Matthias
