Create hidden process??

Is there any way to shell a remote application but have it so that the shelled application doesn't appear in the task list??

I'm currently using the CreateProcess API call to shell the program so that I can monitor for when the program terminates by using the WaitForSingleObject call.

Examples would be appreciated.

Cheers

ooops,

instead of GetCurrentProcessID use the process id returned from the CreateProcess API....

I just re-read your question!!

Thanks,

That's just what I was looking for - you were correct in the first place actually - it turns out it's not the shelled process I want to hide but the application which calls it....
