hola amigos alguien podria decirme la forma de hacer que mi programa no salga en la lista del administrador de tareas??
Entiendo que tiene que ser un proceso pero no se como hacerlo, gracias a todos de antemano

eso no esconde el proceso...

Si te interesa busca un manual de Zealot de como ocutlar proceso en el taskmngr sin hooks.

Salu2

No te olvides de olcultar el formulario en un sub main o en el evento form_load

hombre, puedes bloquear el administrador de tareas para que no salga

Bueno despues de estar buceando por horas en la web encontre este codigo, a mi me ha funcionado para ocultar mi programa del task... lo pongo aqui por si a alguien le interesa el asunto.

En un modulo
