Yes, that sounds good; in other words, at the end of the process that creates the interval you described here:
>>>After 300 seconds, the first EXE needs to come back to the front, but it doesn't.
FWIW, I'd use a timer too if that process runs frequently. If it does not, you can perhaps use the Sleep() function alternatively:
Declare integer Sleep in Win32api integer
Sleep(300*1000)
