Help with Win XP task manager
-
I have a question for you guys. How can i protect the taskbar from users that kills processes essential to the business. if the user goes to Taskmanager, he can still kill the process of that services... Is there any way to prevent him to kill 'one' specific process without preventing him to use the Task Manager.? I would appreciate any help. Thanks :-D

Hi, Just a suggestion, if you dont want users to kill the process, then you may disable your task manager so that in the first place users cannot kill any process. There are two ways that i know, one is through registry (but still users can access taskmanager through ctrl+alt+delete however it is disabled when users right click on the system tray, so perhaps you should add your own control for ctrl+alt+del. Here is the registry path for disabling taskmanager for system tray: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System under System create a DWORD Value DisableTaskMgr and set the value to 1. second Active Directory.. then you create a policy, you run the Group Policy Object Editor, Go to User Configuration->Administrative templates->System->Ctrl+Alt+Del Options then enabled Remove Task Manager policy. then apply that policy to the specific pc/user you want that policy to apply. Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks for the suggestion, but what i really need is another way to protect the application from being disabled by users at the same time giving them access to the task manager. The application im talking about is a client application which is connected to the server. If the user kills the service, it wont be able to recieve information from the server. But thanks anyway ;)

Well like leppie said: Than they shouldn't be administrators. If they are administrators they are allowed to do anything by definition.

So if my login for example was not of an administrator account, you mean to tell me i wont be able to kill processes on the task manager? Please correct me if im wrong. Thanks
By default a 'regular' user is only allowed to kill his own processes. Thus processes running under a different account cannot be killed by him.
