That's a very good question ... the 'domain' for a program is its  
process name ... and that generally has a .exe extension on windows.

Should NSProcessInfo return the full process name (including  
the .exe) as the processName?  I would say probably yes, since that  
lets us find the executable easily.

If so, should NSUserDefaults strip the .exe?  I don't know.
