How to make the application not been displayed in Control panel

[chandu143]

Hi all,
As i need to developed windows application in dotnet where the application should not be displayed in the list of the task manager even if the application is running. That is the application name should not been displayed in the task manager. So is there any script code or else any other ways for fulfilling the requirement while creating the build using set up factory.

Thanks in advance and early reply would be appreciated.

sounds like a virus in the making.

You could probably do something by using/wrapping your app with rundll or svhost.

Personally; if I ran an application and it did not show up in task manager, I wouldn't use it as I wouldn't trust it and couldn't shut it down if something went "wrong".

You could also try "run as" a different user; while it would still show up if the user opened task manager and "show all users" it would hide it a bit.
