You can use external scheduler for this, in example two simple scripts for
nncron (http://nncron.ru) - load spampal automatically with thebat! and
close only if spampal options window is not opened:

-----
#( on_thebat_start
WatchProc: "thebat.exe"
AsLoggedUser
Action:
  PROC-EXIST: "spampal.exe" 0=
  IF 
    LoadProfile
    START-APP: "C:\Program Files\SpamPal\spampal.exe" 
  ELSE THEN
)#

#( on_thebat_stop
WatchProcStop: "thebat.exe"
AsLoggedUser
Action:
  PROC-EXIST: "spampal.exe" WIN-EXIST: "SpampalConfigWindowClass" 0= AND 
  IF 
    PROC-CLOSE: spampal.exe
  ELSE THEN
)#
-----

Not sure for W98, but on 2K/XP it takes ~500kb in active memory and
minimal system resources (~150 handles + ~30 USER/GDI objects) since nncron
doesn't have extra heavy-weight gui.
