a) Start the application as a service. On Win-Xp the Services can show at least TrayIcons, I’m not sure about windows/forms.
To easily turn any application into a service, you can use srvany from the Windows 2003 Server Ressource Kit.
b) The Windows Task Sheduler is capable of running applications as different users incl. admins (using this method, no windows will be shown).
c) You can run
at hh:mm /INTERACTIVE cmdto start a process asSYSTEM-Userwhich can interact with the users desktop.
