    Hello, Is it possible that I can have a process running on Windows XP Home that does not appear in the Windows Task Manager? If so, how can I detect such processes? Thanks, -Me!

        Yes, it is possible but I hope Mircrosoft will fix it soon! I know of no way of detecting it but if it is a problem to you then contact me and we will find some solution. jhaga CodeProject House, Paul Watson wrote: ...and the roar of John Simmons own personal Nascar in the garage.

            If you use VB: To hide the program from the Taskmanager write the below code in the form load. App.Taskvisible = False [Edit: ok, you will see it in Processes but by selecting a strange name for it, it will be difficult to find] http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/PreventClose.asp[^] jhaga CodeProject House, Paul Watson wrote: ...and the roar of John Simmons own personal Nascar in the garage.

Thanks :) <edit> It does work, no trace of the process in Task Manager, however it is still shown in the Process Explorer (sysinternals) Thanks for the link. </edit> Regards, Venet.
