    How can I hide a Windows Process from Windows Task List. This means that process should not appear in task bar, systems tray or in Task Manager Process's List, even Task Manager Process Count or Threads Count should not show a new Process or Threads running. How can I do this?? Another opposite problem is that, How can I find such Processes/Threads running on my System??? Please any experts do reply and keep the solution very simple. Arsalan Malik

      The only way to hide a process from the task manager is to... exit the process! In other words: No way

        Being able to do so would be a security compromise. I don't think it is possible Michel It is a lovely language, but it takes a very long time to say anything in it, because we do not say anything in it, unless it is worth taking a very long time to say, and to listen to.

          I dont know if it is possible to hide from task manager of NT/XP, but it is certainly possible to make the app hidden when you use CTRL+ALT+DEL in 9x/ME. I am also looking for such code. I've seen some apps doing this. Hari Krishnan

            I think it is possible by making a service of your application. MSDN can provide you with the details of how to make a service of your application. Don't think you are, know you are...

The process view applet which is part of the Visual Studio install (optional in VS7, optional but installs by default in VS6, I think.) Also check out http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/utilities.shtml[^] for several extremely useful utilities.
