        Actually, I've seen an application (Invisible KeyLogger) which doesn't seem to show up on the task list. I've always wondered how it did it. There ought to be a way to modify the windows task list. Maybe not in the Win32 API's, maybe through direct access to the list memory.

          The only way I can think of getting around it is actually to use a device driver. For a keylogger, it would simply install a new keyboard driver that would transparently pass all the information to the previous driver, after logging it. Again, why is it necessary to remove your process from the task list? Why do you not want the user to know it's running?

              Thats nice. I'm still wanting to know why he wants the app to not appear in task manager. I can't see any reason to do this, other than if it's a malicious app, which is why I'm not going to help yet.
