I am developing an windows application in which I want birthdays reminder of the clients. So what I want is, when my pc starts, a program file should run automatically(i.e without click on the icon of setup) and fetch the records from database and show it to notify icon. If you hae any idea regarding this please tell the flow.
Thanks in advance

What have you tried? You are supposed to know how to write some pseudo-code to describe the flow of your program.

I tried for windows service. But don't know how to start it without opening the application. Do you know any method to start the windows service when pc starts?

It's not clear which notify icon, stll you can try implementing following approaches-
1. Write a program (May be a console application) to fetch date of births from DB and write a logic to filter bithdates with current system date and display the them. Put the exe file in Startup folder.

2. Write a windows service and on code the same logic and make sure that logic gets executed OnStart event. Design a windows form and display this form with data on this event call.

You can check the following article if your requirement matches with it.
