How to prevent a C# Winforms program from appearing in Task Manager?

How to prevent a C# Winforms program from appearing in Task Manager?

+1  A: 

I don't know any way of doing it. The task manager is for the users to analyze what processes run on their machine. Hiding processes is not good. You could make your program run as a Windows Service and in this case it will be shown only as svchost.exe in the task manager.

Interfacing with svchost is not documented; for practical purposes any service you write will still have to live in its own process.
