Use "NotifyIcon". Just give an icon and text in it.

Then you must have a checking function 1 time / day. If birthday == DateTime.Now, then show notifyIcon.

If your program is not running, then it is impossible to show notify icon. Just like outlook. If your outlook not running, then you cannot get message whether you get a new message or not.

Use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(string filename); for example : System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"C:\WINNT\NOTEPAD.EXE");

You must copy your application to this directory : C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup That directory is for all users. If you want to specific user only, then you must change "All User" to other user, for example (MyAccount): C:\Documents and Settings\MyAccount\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

It depends on your application. If you application is a service, then you must install it in services, set to automatic, then if you start your windows, it will be started automatically. But I don't know how to install a service. Sorry.
