No sorry, it is currently not possible to externally control Workrave on Windows.

GConf is unix only; it is not supported on Windows. DBus support on Windows 
will probably be added in one of the next versions of Workrave. It's on my 
wishlist for quite some time. I recently did some experiments with DBus on 
Windows. I managed to get it working:

C:\mystuff\devel\bin>dbus-env.bat

C:\mystuff\devel\bin>dbus-send.exe  --type=method_call --print-reply 
--dest=org.workrave.Workrave /org/workrave/Workrave/Core 
org.workrave.CoreInterface.GetOperationMode
method return sender=:1.0 -> dest=:1.6 reply_serial=2
    string "quiet"

DBus doesn't feel ready for Windows. I'm not sure it will be in the next 
version (which I plan to release soonish).

Workrave does not monitoring registry changes on Windows (as Joe suggested).

Groetjes,
   Rob
