By adding advanced features in reminder application ;)

OK, refer this Minutes Alarm Reminder[^]

For advanced features refer this Reminder Systems[^] & implement these things in your program.

It does not make a whole lot of sense, because a reminder mechanism already exists, called Microsoft Windows Task Scheduler, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_Scheduler[^], http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa383614.aspx[^].

This Windows Service can be used via the utilities AT.EXE or SchTasks.EXE, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_%28Windows%29[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schtasks[^].

The role of you program can be reduced to an application showing the alarm or reminder or anything like that. You can simply load some Web browser and some predefined HTML file or WinWord.EXE loading some predefined document.

You can also solve many similar tasks or use Task Scheduler API via scripting or calling it from you program. See:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384006%28v=VS.85%29.aspx[^],
