How to prevent an exe to be killed (stopping the execution) through Task Manager in Windows Vista?
-
Hi to all!!! I have created a service which invokes an application i.e. it is running on system account. This application is invoked when any user logs in. I am stucking at a point that suppose guest user logged in and my application is invoked (running in System account). Now I opened the Task Manager and clicked on the button of "Show process from all users"(and getting the administrator privileges i.e. entering administrator password) and then clicked on the end process button, he can kill the process. I want to overcome this i.e. I want to prevent the user from killing my application. Please help me.. With regards, Vaibhav Deshpande

Why does your guest user have access to the administrator password? Admins are <insert deity of choice> - they can do what they want, by design. Judy
Hi!! Yes your question is right but I want to make my application full proof. As in Windows XP and Professional the facility of "Show process of all users" on the Task Manager is not given so there is no problem. But in Windows Vista such facility is given so it is possible for a guest user to see the process on the system account and then my stucking point occurs. With regards, Vaibhav
