Changing the name of an MFC application in the Windows 7/8 navigation list

What setting in the MFC application is controlled by the header shown in the Windows 7/8 navigation list, just below the actual jump list, above the pin application option?

Example

This is mainly so that a localized string can be used for non-English systems.

My first thought about this problem was that it could be installed in the version resource file, although adding a new localized section (sweden in this case) and setting the description / file name does not seem to affect the text I'm interested in.

Finally, invented this, the name used here and in several other places is set in the registry key for the application in

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\AppName.exe] "FriendlyAppName"="This text is shown"
