Hi,
I am using srvany.exe to run my vb app as a service, however, the application appears in the task manager's application list and thus can be "killed".
HOW DO I HIDE THE APPLICATION FROM THE TASK MANAGER?

THANKS

Hiding the task from task manager - now wouldnt that defeat the purpose of security management? Wouldnt that just make for an especially nasty app?

we are running a closed network and want to place a banner (apptoolbar) on the top portion of the screen.ÿ but we do not want our users to remove it.

Have you tried that you can actually kill it with the taskmanager? I mean, aren't services protected against getting killed by the task manager?

Or perhaps you could disable the task manager, isn't that possible?

Do you need to hide it form task manager
Can you not just find out how its being closed down in the query unload event of the form and then then cancel the unload request ie

If unloadmodeÿ = vbAppWindows then
ÿ cancel = false
else
ÿ 'vbFormControlMenu
ÿ 'vbFormCode
ÿ 'vbAppWindows
ÿ 'vbAppTaskManager
ÿ 'vbFormMDIForm
ÿ 'vbFormOwner
ÿ Cancel = True
End if

cheers

EI. Dont allow Users to Disable a service??
