      Why do you want to hide running processes ? ?

          i was being sarcastic! i dont need to hide a keylogger. i need to hide processes because when my computer starts up many processes are running. i have stopped the uneccesary ones by startup folder and options from the prograns and msconfig. yet some still start. this slows my computer down

          what i do is end some of these processes from task manager. now my brother has also seen me do this but even after warning that he is ending a critical task he still ends it so i need to hide the proceses. i can diable ctrl+alt+del but he can re-enable it.

          services.msc from a command prompt will do what you need...
          Another option is Process Explorer///free.

            At worst ending a critical process will just mean you will need to restart your computer (I think)... just give your brother his own account - you can even limit his access to such things - and password protect your own.

            Actually turning off the wrong process can render a machine unusable...
            Do lots of research before fiddling around.
