    Re: Not visible in task manager-processes

    I`m making a program that locks my computer while i am away so that my computer can not be accesed without a password. My job demands that I keep my computer almost all the time open and i can`t just sit around to look after it.

    And why would you need to hide the program from the task manager list?

    Because this is a program that locks the computer and it could be closed from the task manager-processes.

    Re: Not visible in task manager-processes

    That feature is already built into the operating system (on Windows 2000 and later 'lock computer', for earlier versions screensavers), why create a progam to do the same thing?

    Besides, if they can get to task manager then it is already too late - they can open/close programs from there anyway.

    That hides the progrm from the task manager-aplications. It is still visible in processes and it could still be closed from there.
