Read about System.Diagnostics.Process.Start, and don't create a window and you won't see the application (if you do a console app you will always get the black window, so do a windows app).

Yay for malicious script kiddies!
Give us a good, legitimate reason why you need to hide your program "from taskbar n [sic] other places"
Can u du dat?
Post some code so we can help at least with the timer part
edit: I would also believe that you cannot simply do that. Except by installing some driver-like software or changing some core functions or in general changing the way the OS registers the processes.

look into services. there is good support for service control in the .Net framework.
