After some internet research:

There is no way to do this in .NET for a program which is already running. You can hide it from the task bar by using Window.ShowInTaskBar = False, but it will still be visible in the Applications list.
You could create your application as a Windows Service - services are not shown in the Applications list.
You could also write code to run the program in a new process.

Taken from: App.TaskVisible equivalent code for VB.net - Stack Overflow

Actually, you can hide the process from the applications view in Task Manager, simply change the Window.ShowInTaskBar property to false AND change the Form's Text property to blank.

Nice, that will hide it from the task bar and the applications section of the task manager. However, it should still show up in the processes in task manager but I am guessing ShowInTaskBar accomplished what you were looking for.
