    You will not find the people here sympathetic to your plight unless you can give more details about what your program does. We get requests like this all the time, mostly from script kiddies that want to write malware.

    Isn't simplier to disallow running TaskManager for the user used by children? - you can do it in the policy management
    All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
    except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

    Yes and anyone reading this thread will beileve you "koyboy" are one of them, myself included. If you want something like this then obtain something someone has already written, otherwise I wish you the worst of luck in this endevaour. The reason for this attitude is that even if you were to be writing this legitimately, it can too easily be used maliciously by someone else.
    I would suggest this thread be closed.

    Actually, it's simple to do that.
    The way I see it is, if you can't write code to do that on your own, then you can't write code thats worth hiding from the task manager.

    I could not agree more. Closed.
