Is it possible to disable shutting down a program?

Is there any way to disable being able to shut down a program totally? I
would have to allow it to be closed when the computer is shutting down or the
user is logging out, but other than that it can't shut down no matter what.
Can anybody give me any suggestions? I'd like to use c# but moreover I just
need some direction in where to go with this..

Somebody had suggested to me to make a service that monitors the app running
as a user on a system..

No. You can make it harder, but a user can still always kill the
process.
