z0mgItsJohn Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Here's another thought: Maybe, instead of blocking Task Manager, you could just check to see if it's running, and give the student a warning message telling them that if the program is closed via Task Manager, then the student will lose the ability to use Task Manager.

Medic873 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 well that is okay I guess but here is a idea.. Could I possible make it where if task manager is open no big deal but if task manager is open and they have clicked on our process then close task manager.. So how can i do this basically.. if winexists ("Windows Task Manager" [, "MY APPLICATION IS SELECTED" ]) then WinClose("Windows Task Manager") ProcessClose ("taskmgr.exe") EndIf I dont know how to do it where its only if my application has been SELECTED.

JohnOne Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 We have already disable access to skype on school servers but do not want kids to use skype at all.. That is a broad dicission to avoid any issues with privacy or anything along those lines. This is the path we have decided to take if you dont have a way to hide the process and are going to recommend something that has already been said please dont...You're not the boss of me son, I'll suggest what I like.You could just as easily disallow a user to install any sort of software, but I suppose with your 'hide any process I feel like' blinkers on, you wont be happy until you do just that.Good luck with that file up there, its sending my security up the wall just being on the page.

Ascend4nt Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Re: Task manager. Just start it in Hidden mode. Windows only allows one instance of it: Run('taskmgr.exe','',@SW_HIDE) Of course, this doesn't circumvent the problem of other process manager/viewers (DTaskManager, etc) My contributions: Performance Counters in Windows - Measure CPU, Disk, Network etc Performance | Network Interface Info, Statistics, and Traffic | CPU Multi-Processor Usage w/o Performance Counters | Disk and Device Read/Write Statistics | Atom Table Functions | Process, Thread, & DLL Functions UDFs | Process CPU Usage Trackers | PE File Overlay Extraction | A3X Script Extract | File + Process Imports/Exports Information | Windows Desktop Dimmer Shade | Spotlight + Focus GUI - Highlight and Dim for Eyestrain Relief | CrossHairs (FullScreen) | Rubber-Band Boxes using GUI's (_GUIBox) | GUI Fun! | IE Embedded Control Versioning (use IE9+ and HTML5 in a GUI) | Magnifier (Vista+) Functions UDF | _DLLStructDisplay (Debug!) | _EnumChildWindows (controls etc) | _FileFindEx | _ClipGetHTML | _ClipPutHTML + ClipPutHyperlink | _FileGetShortcutEx | _FilePropertiesDialog | I/O Port Functions | File(s) Drag & Drop | _RunWithReducedPrivileges | _ShellExecuteWithReducedPrivileges | _WinAPI_GetSystemInfo | dotNETGetVersions | Drive(s) Power Status | _WinGetDesktopHandle | _StringParseParameters | Screensaver, Sleep, Desktop Lock Disable | Full-Screen Crash Recovery Wrappers/Modifications of others' contributions: _DOSWildcardsToPCRegEx (original code: RobSaunder's) | WinGetAltTabWinList (original: Authenticity) UDF's added support/programming to: _ExplorerWinGetSelectedItems | MIDIEx UDF (original code: eynstyne) (All personal code/wrappers centrally located at Ascend4nt's AutoIT Code) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medic873 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 I really do kindof like that because somthing we might do is allow teachers to access task manager for kids. So I can have it hide it unless you enter a password in a inputbox... might use this in the long run thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
