Can't be done on Windows NT kernel O/S's. You could do this on XP and below only with a call to RegisterAsService(? - can't remember the exact name). I did this a LONG LONG time ago using that function, but it won't work on 2000 and above.

Why you want to do this?. Intercepting system calls result in more headaches than what you achieve. Even many virus scanners prevent kind of root kit programs. If you explain what is your exact need then we could suggest alternate ways.

Agreed. It is a silly idea.

I am writing a key logger application, that's why. :)

Bull. Setting the name of a form has absolutely nothing to do with the process showing up in Task Manager or not.

...and I just verified that on Windows 7 for a sanity check. You're not hiding anything from Task Manager by doing that.

Its Text property not Name

Solution 1

Why do you want to do that? It's non-standard behavior and ends up just pissing users off. Are you writing a key logger?

Thanks for the reply Mr. John. Yes , I am writing a key logger application, that's why. :)

We generally question the motives of people writing key logger apps because it's a hacking tool. BTW, you can't hide an app from task manager on Vista/Win7. I'm not sure about XP and earlier.

Albin Abel 20-Mar-11 9:20am

Agreed. May be a key logger.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 20-Mar-11 21:33pm

Agree, too, my 5.
