You can't reliably do this. You could use a virus-like technique to hook into the Windows kernel, but your application is liable to be blocked by a virus scanner.

If you're unhappy with users closing your application, why not remove local admin rights from your users and run your app as a Windows service? Windows will then stop them from closing your app.

you probably want it to run as a windows service that way it shouldn't appear as an application in task manager and in the processes it will just be one of many svchost.exe processes.

Create a service / run the application under another user. A non-administrator can not see processes belonging to other users, thus not your app.

---

You can not do that. You can rename the EXE file so that no one can know what the process is.
