I have an application watching for certain parameters in the system and alerting the user if needed. I have put that application to every computer in the office so everybody gets those alert messages. The application does not close and only goes to the systray. It can be terminated only through the Task Manager but I want to prevent even that. How is it possible to start an application in such a way that user can not terminate it even through the Task Manager? I know some anti-viruses work like that.

Maybe this could be achieved by starting the application as administrator (if this is generally possible). Or starting it as "system process" (my task manger shows some processes from user SYSTEM, that I cannot terminate)?

Thank you, that didn't seem much possible but that gave me another idea, so I have handled my probelm. Thanks!
