private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Timer MyTimer = new Timer();
        MyTimer.Interval = (15 * 60 * 1000); // 15 mins
        MyTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(MyTimer_Tick);
        MyTimer.Start();
    }

    private void MyTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //Check time 6 PM or 8 PM and Switch System
    }

If you go 2 your start menu, you'll see a menu called "Startup" in "programs". Just create a shortcut to your EXE and put it in that menu folder. It'll start automatically next time you restart your PC.
Now your applicaition is running in backgroud, you can switch to happy hours based on system time.(use Timer tick event)
