You can make it a service, which has an advantage, that it survives logouts. SOME PROGRAMMING IS REQIURED. If I need something running the "fast and dirty" way, I run a regular python application as window application (start pythonw.exe). As a way o communication (start, stop, pause) I use tray. If you nee an example of such a program, I can send one.
