Hidding a Program completly

[Ultimasnake]

hello , me and a teacher are trying to make a application that will log how long a student is logged and if he went on the internet (wich may not be done while in class , only in spare time) but the application is hidden and not seen on the screen but they can still see it in the TASK MANAGER and still stop it (the hard way) and i know there is a way to hide it even from there but i cant seem to find source codes for that.

I need them for windows nt , 98 and 2000 and xp :s

app.taskvisible = false

This will hide it from the taskmanager, and when u call the application 'services.exe', Windows taskmanager will be unable to stop it, coz it is regonized as an systemprocess

!! only works under XP/NT, for win95 there are api's....

didn't you read it? he said if you named it a service name, such as services.exe, they wouldn't be able to close the program from proceses tab. for 95/98/me, search the site for 'hide from task manager'. im sure you will find thousands of examples.

oh yeh, you won't be able to hide it in the process list. doing what phrozeman told you about the services is the best you could do to stop them from closing your program.
