You could use the RegisterWaitForSingleObject method in the ThreadPool class.

Your service code should look something like this (stolen heavily from here and here) :

private ManualResetEvent resetEvent = new ManualResetEvent(false);
private RegisteredWaitHandle handle;

public void OnStart()
{
    resetEvent.Reset();
    handle = ThreadPool.RegisterWaitForSingleObject(resetEvent, callBack, null, 7200000, false);
}

public void OnStop()
{
    reset.Set();
}

private void callBack(object state, bool timeout)
{
    if (timeout)
    {
        //Do Stuff Here
    }
    else
    {
        handle.Unregister(null);
    }   
}

In the Debug or Release folder, you will have an .exe version of the file.

Use Task scheduler to run it whenever you want to.

On Windows XP and Server 2003 you can access this from the Start Menu and clicking on Settings and then Control Panel to Scheduled Tasks

The above will constantly utilize your resources. For intermittent usage PS Service can do the job: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897542.aspx
