idle_mind, what is Schedule in this case?

It's at line #1, and is a Dictionary to associate the string path to the EXE with each Timer instance so you can look it up when the Elapsed() event fires.

I tried your code and it seemed to do nothing. So I che4cked the Task manager and saw that the process for the exe was running but the user form didn't show up. My exe is a Windows application

Thanks.
One more thing, if I replace my Windows service with exe, how can make it run every hour programmatically? I want to schedule it either via code or via setup project i use to install it. Is there a way to do that?

I tried to schedule the task using Windows scheduler but there is no option for hourly, just daily
