Are you wanting to cancel the action midway, or disable the action all together?– James MertzAug 20, 2013 at 19:31

Whatever is possible, my aim is to restrict user to close the app in any way.– Farhan GhumraAug 21, 2013 at 2:45

What's the use case for this? If you're a developer, trying to stop the user from using any other app, you're going to have some pretty upset customers.– James MertzAug 21, 2013 at 14:27

Wait for the Windows 8.1 update to get the kiosk mode/assigned access to only allow 1 app to be launched and never be closed.
Assigned Access: This new Windows 8.1 feature lets organizations enable a single Windows Store application experience on a device so the user only experiences the specified application but cannot access other system files and applications.

Yes I know about that thing, but is it possible to do same thing in Windows 8 through registry editing or programming a helper app ? Aug 21, 2013 at 6:20

8.1 will be a free upgrade to all devices, if you're willing to wait for the official release. Beta is also available to the public as well. Aug 21, 2013 at 14:27
