1. See the links below:

http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/TheNotifyIconExample

2. You can program you application to run every 10 mins (or whatever time interval suitable) and after you install this on the clients machine, just copy the shortcut to the Startup folder. This way the application loads when the windows session starts and it runs at defined intervals.
Or
You can completely ignore the part where you decide how often it needs to run and after you install this on the clients machine, just create a scheduled task that will run the application at defined intervals (I prefer this over the previous).
