No, that is not what i need. I already know how to user the taskvisible property.It can be used to hide the programme from Applications of Task Manager. I need to apply the same with Processes list of Task Manager. But I need not to hide it,I need to make is as it can not be closed from Process list.Please Help.............................

I have no idea how you could hide the applicaiton from the process list, however why not just rename the process to somethin a user would not recognise?

It's very 'virus like' but you could name it to something like 'syshost.exe'.

Hi,

I can change My process as a name of a system process. But what i am going to create is a security software.

Some Users are clever enough to recognise such a duplicate process and terminate it.

I need to truly make it as it cannot be terminated by a user.

And I need to know how to create an exe in vb6 to block the access to a folder even in Dos mode. and it should be applied for renaming and deletion of that folder as well.


Help.....................

Programs don't have the ability to do the kinds of things you are asking. It isn't an option to protect them in these ways. The only way that I know of doing these sorts of things is to hook the Windows Messaging API & look for your process name in the list. If you see your name in the list, revoke it, & then pass the message on. Hooking the Windows Messaging API is no simple task, so you are going to have to do some research on this one. You are going to have to learn a little bit about how Windows works before you can start to interfere with with.

no2 is right.
If you still wish to use Hooking Functions, I suggest you do a little reading on EnumWindows(), EnumChildWindows() and GetWindowLong().
You will just need these 2 functions (GetWindowLong() isn't necessary) to hook into any Window and subclass its child controls.
