Hi,
You could consider using the Disable Task Manager
(HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableTaskMgr)
policy to prevent users from running task manager, thus "End Process" would
not be available. Alternatively, create your program as a system process so
that only those with sufficient access right can close it.

Windows task manager and click on the button "End process" yu will kill
aplication! This isn't problem solution. I really need hide my
application.
