    Not being a Windows user I believe they have something called
    System Scheduler or Task Scheduler, something like that which 
    may be used for such purposes. 

    An easier solution would be to write a small Perl script which 
    is unlikely to crash, which simply sleep()s for 10 minutes, checks
    for the app running and if not re-launches. Not exactly an elegant
    solution, but it would work.
