You can also think of a VB script with "sleep" in a loop. Start it minimised or as service at computer startup. 

CONST  guckhierName  "C:\whatchthisfolder"
DIM fso, shellO , guckhier   ' objects
DIM anfangstag 

set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set shellO = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

anfangstag = Date

set guckhier = fso.getfolder(guckhierName)

DO WHILE anfangstag <= Date
   WScript.Sleep 150000  ' millisekunden = 5 Minuten
   IF fso.fileExists (guckhierName & "\" & "gesuchteDatei.txt") THEN
      shello.run ("irgendeinwichtigesprogramm.exe")
      wscript.sleep 1000   ' wait a second
      fso.DeleteFile (guckhierName & "\" & "gesuchteDatei.txt")    ' so that it is being started only once
   END IF
LOOP

===========================================

  This script should run until midnight and check for the file named "gesuchteDatei.txt" every five minutes. 
 
  Caveat: I have not tested it neither tried to compile it. 


  Have fun!
