Thank you for the resources I will definitely check them
out.

Because I run a network at home for my family I wanted the
the program to be able to kill the .exe's invisibly and
then update them if necccessary so that's why I wanted it
to run invisibly. And if a file was found to be outdated
and then updated after the process was killed it would
display an icon in the system tray. I wanted to clarify
that because I wasn't specific on that part.

Thank You,
   Charles
