Solution 1

Couple of ways can be using Windows Scheduler or Windows Service which can be scheduled to run every 5 mins.

Ya i know that but how to do that... I want the full application to get started as a new application...

Yes , using Windows scheduler or Service it will Start/Invoke your application . Also , May be you can create a Console Applc which loads the windows app and add a scheduler to call exe of the console app.
