    Hello,
    Paste this on a vb form with a timer and textbox control.Give your program name as value of text1.text.Set the timer to the required interval and run the program (or execute the program when u need it to run).

    Private Declare Function GetForegroundWindow Lib "user32" _
    () As Long

    Private Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (ByVal _
    hwnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal x _
    As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy _
    As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long

    Private Declare Function GetWindowText Lib "user32" Alias _
    "GetWindowTextA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpString As String, _
    ByVal cch As Long) As Long

    Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias _

    Private Const WM_CLOSE = &H10

    Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    Dim lWindowHWnd As Long
    Dim sBuffer As String
    Dim a
    sBuffer = Space(255)
    lWindowHWnd = GetForegroundWindow()
    GetWindowText lWindowHWnd, sBuffer, Len(sBuffer)
    a = Trim(sBuffer)
    Text1.Text = a
    'change the following line as per your requirments
    If Text1.Text = "Program Name" Then
    SetWindowPos Me.hwnd, -1, Me.CurrentX, Me.CurrentY, 483, 441, &H40
    Me.Top = (Screen.Height - Me.Height) / 2
    Me.Left = (Screen.Width - Me.Width) / 2
    Form1.Visible = True
    Timer2.Enabled = True
    Dim closeall As Long
    closeall = FindWindow(vbNullString, Text1.Text)
    PostMessage closeall, WM_CLOSE, CLng(0), CLng(0)
    End If
    End Sub

    Private Sub Timer2_Timer()
    SetWindowPos Me.hwnd, 1, Me.CurrentX, Me.CurrentY, 480, 450, &H40
    Form1.Visible = False
