From WM_TIMER message in the WinAPI documentation:

The WM_TIMER message is a low-priority message. The GetMessage and PeekMessage functions post this message only when no other higher-priority messages are in the thread's message queue.

can we modify system menus??

Yes, several applications do (Google Chrome, Command Prompt, etc.). You typically use the GetSystemMenu() function. It gives you a handle (HEMNU) to a copy of the default system menu, that you can modify using the menu functions listed in the link I gave you.

EDIT: By system menu, I am assuming you are talking about the menu displayed when you click on the application icon on the top-left of a window.
