You can use WMI to monitor process creation (and much more). This blog entry will get you started using WMI from Delphi describing the events you might want to monitor. This works without using timers.

An alternative would be diving into the world of hooks. Monitoring window creation will also reveal the Snipping Tool being started. This could fail though if some application fails to use CallNextHookEx properly.
