Answer 4

To create a reminder, you need something that is always running.

Most persons use a scheduler for that, but you can also try a windows service.

Be aware that a window service cannot direct communicatie with the screen in an other way than with a notification icon.

A windowsservice is something easily to make, but not something that is easily to install, simply make first a console application and then change it to a windows service by adding a windows service install project to the solution. With wsinstalutil you can then install it.

Do you see that console application all the time running, it wont, simply have a look what the scheduler can do for you if making a console application needs already guidance.

Answer 9

You can also create a program and place a shortcut to it in the startup folder so it runs when the system boots. Then it can be a Windows Forms program instead of a console app.

You'll still want a database, text file, or something to store the reminder data.

I think the startup directories for XP and Vista are:

XP, all users: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
XP particular user: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Vista all users: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Vista particular user: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
