Hide your main form (or don't have one).
Use a Timer, set to 30 seconds or so intervale, and a count in the Timer.Tick handler. When the five minutes has expired, create a small form, set it's location and Show it. You can use the same timer with a different count to close it again if needed.

One kind soul wrote this example on Code Project almost 10 year back. Have a look:
