Why this code will not work?

I'm not sure with this code?

Can someone tell me how to hide my process in task managers pros?

Code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        TMListViewDelete.Running = False

    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        TMListViewDelete.Running = True

    End Sub

The above code will work on 32 Bit version of windows but not on 64 bit. I've tried that code numerous times when I had 32 bit version and it works. 64-Bit kernels of windows 7 have some notorious policies to prevent the interception of system calls (Patching Policy for x64-Based Systems). Attempting to modify syscall table will result in an instant Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) :/

Why would you want to do that in the first place ? As I told you, it is extremely difficult to modify tables like syscall because of the way how Windows tracks the interception of system calls. So the answer is pretty much a No :/

I forgot to tell why I want
So is there:

I am creating an anti hacker would need so that:

I wanted my process is in not being able to hide it or killa it appears on the Task Managers so that it can not killa.
