is it possible to hide IE from task manager that starts with autoIT?

Code:
#NoTrayIcon
#include <IE.au3>
Local $oIE = _IECreate("http://google.com/",0,0,1,1)
unmm...ok...IE window is hidden, autoit exe tray icon is hidden too... but is it possible to hide IE which autoit is opening from task manager, process list?

I hope not. It scares the crap outta me that someone could open a hidden program, with a hidden process. To make matters worse, INTERNET EXPLORER? That's the last thing i would want running invisibly on my computer. Even when it's running perfectly it's a system liability.

Okay i'm done ranting. But seriously, scary.

Yes it is possible but very tricky.
One way to hide it from the processlist is to start the app as a Service -> much harder to find or you simply edit the ListView of the taskmanager which requires some skill.

You can disable your taskmgr via setting a special regkey but not single processes.

Ok..its done...very easy it was..I am posting it so that in future if someone looks for it..can find it easily...

Code:
#include "ServiceControl.au3"
$servicename = "ANY NAME U WANT"
_CreateService("", $servicename, "My AutoIt Script", "C:\Path_to_\srvany.exe", "LocalSystem", "", 0x110)
RegWrite("HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\" & $servicename & "\Parameters", "Application", "REG_SZ", @ScriptFullPath)

Do that and both autoit exe and IE will go under process :D just give it a good system name and people will not touch it :P
