You can make it in whatever you want but personally I would do it in a Windows Service, assuming there doesnt need to be anything displayed on screen by this application. That way the program cant be accidentally closed (you would have to manually open the Services MMC snap in and select the service and click Stop to close it) and it can automatically start again when the machine is rebooted, even if no one logs in.
