Hi, I read up on how to kill a running process a few days ago, and decided to make a task manager block out of it. This is the code:
Code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace NoFirefox // Tried it with firefox first lol
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        bool buttonCheck = false;
        bool buttonCheck2 = true;
        private Process[] processes;
        private string procName = "taskmgr";
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (buttonCheck)
            {
                buttonCheck = false;
                label1.ForeColor = Color.Black;
                label1.Text = "Not active";
                button1.Text = "Enable";
            }
            else
            {
                buttonCheck = true;
                label1.ForeColor = Color.DarkSeaGreen;
                label1.Text = "Ready";
                button1.Text = "Disable";
            }
        }

        private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (buttonCheck)
                if (buttonCheck2)
                {
                    timer1.Enabled = true;
                    label1.ForeColor = Color.DarkOrange;
                    label1.Text = "Active";
                    button2.Text = "Deactivate";
                    buttonCheck2 = false;
                }
                else
                {
                    timer1.Enabled = false;
                    buttonCheck2 = true;
                    buttonCheck = false;
                    label1.ForeColor = Color.Black;
                    label1.Text = "Not active";
                }
            else
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Enable before activating.");
            }
        }

        private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            processes = Process.GetProcessesByName(procName);
           
            try
            {
                foreach (Process proc in processes)
                {
                    proc.Kill();
                }
            }
            catch (System.NullReferenceException)
            {
               // If no task manager is running while the program is active, do the following:
            }
        }
    }
}

Designer generated code:
Code:

this.components = new System.ComponentModel.Container();
            this.button1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
            this.timer1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer(this.components);
            this.label1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Label();
            this.button2 = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
            this.SuspendLayout();
            //
            // button1
            //
            this.button1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(18, 12);
            this.button1.Name = "button1";
            this.button1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(54, 23);
            this.button1.TabIndex = 0;
            this.button1.Text = "Enable";
            this.button1.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
            this.button1.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.button1_Click);
            //
            // timer1
            //
            this.timer1.Tick += new System.EventHandler(this.timer1_Tick);
            //
            // label1
            //
            this.label1.AutoSize = true;
            this.label1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(49, 47);
            this.label1.Name = "label1";
            this.label1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(56, 13);
            this.label1.TabIndex = 1;
            this.label1.Text = "Not active";
            //
            // button2
            //
            this.button2.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(78, 12);
            this.button2.Name = "button2";
            this.button2.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(54, 23);
            this.button2.TabIndex = 2;
            this.button2.Text = "Activate";
            this.button2.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
            this.button2.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.button2_Click);
            //
            // Form1
            //
            this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);
            this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;
            this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(155, 79);
            this.Controls.Add(this.button2);
            this.Controls.Add(this.label1);
            this.Controls.Add(this.button1);
            this.MaximizeBox = false;
            this.MinimizeBox = false;
            this.Name = "Form1";
            this.Text = "Task Manager Block";
            this.ResumeLayout(false);
            this.PerformLayout();

Is there any way someone can still open task manager without tampering with the program (While its activated of course)?
Edit: Forgot to mention that this is in C#.

First of all, no one really needs the Designer code, because it doesn't matter. Second, learn to name your buttons, it helps with reading the code. For example:

Instead of

Code:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)


you have

Code:

private void btnKill_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)


or something.

~~

As for your question, I believe someone could just rename the .exe, but I have no idea.

I guess i never really saw the need since im usually the only one looking at the code, but i might aswell since its so easy anyway.
Edit: Thanks for replying =).

You should always keep your code tidy and organised, or when you come to write a slightly bigger program, you will get extremely confused and it will take you three times the time it would take you otherwise. Wink

That reminds me, you can stop an executable from running if you opened the exe in "Binary Lock Read" mode or whatever equivalent in C#.

(Funny things happen if you close taskmgr, hide your own window and open taskmgr in BLR!)

Code:
            string taskMgr = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System) + "\\taskmgr.exe";
            if (System.IO.File.Exists(taskMgr))
                System.IO.File.Open(taskMgr, System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read, System.IO.FileShare.None);
