Desktop Alerts Application

Hi, I would like to build a Windows Desktop Alerts Application which will work with a Remote MySQL server and will check every few minutes for new Alerts and retrieve them to the desktop while presenting them in a Popup Window on the client machine. Main Features: ============== - Required Windows Competible Installation .EXE (98/XP/NT/Vista) o Without .NET Framework Requirment. o Without Relaying on 3rd party software. o Uninstall must be included. - Each installation requires a valid Key in order to operate (Key = MD5 of an e-mail or similar) - On the first operation, the local MAC address of the client will be extracted and will be sent to the server and will be stored next to the pre-assigned key. - The client will have to re-authenticate each time using the Key + MAC Address before each query. o If authentication is succesfull, the client will retrieve the latest Text Alert (if one exists). o If the authentication fails, the client will recieve an Custom Error message. - The application will support Text Alerts via Popup Window and Sound(Optional). - Will support Window appearance timer selector (10 sec,15 sec,30 sec,60 sec and Off) - Will Support data retrieval (after auth) from XML/HTTP every (60 sec, 3 min, 10 min or "Right Now") - The application will keep a local Log of all the previous alerts for viewing with an option to "Clear Log". - On Minimize, the application will be sent to "Tray". Client Menu Features: ===================== + About (text + website url + version info) + Window Close Timer - 10 secs - 15 secs - 30 secs - 60 secs - Off (No Alerts) + Add to Windows Startup + View Log - Text Window - "Clear Log" + Help (Redirect to URL) + Quit (Close Application) That's all Folks!!!
