Two options that spring to mind:
Write a Windows service. Kick off a timer that triggers every five minutes, and do your work there.
Set up a Windows scheduled task (“Task Scheduler” in Vista/Win7) to trigger every five minutes and launch your application.
I’d tend towards the latter. Windows services are easy to set up, but nothing’s simpler than no code at all.
