Yeah, I seldom use FindWindow any more either. You're right that is can
find windows you didn't intend for it to. If you can start the process the
ShellExecuteEx method is better. Thanks for listing the rest of the
process. This should work for OP.

FindWindow is usually a bit dangerous to use, because it is so sensitive
to things like
incidental aspects of the class name or even worse, the caption.
Typically, I would use ShellExecuteEx (which gives me a process handle),
EnumWindows to
find all the top-level windows, GetWindowThreadProcessId to get the ID of
each window, and
when I found one that matched the GetProcessId() of the process handle.
This would not be
sensitive to either the class name of the window or the caption text.
Having found the window, ShowWindow(SW_MAXIMIZE) should do what is needed.

You can use FindWindow() to get a window pointer to the application and
use MoveWindow() or ShowWindow() to change it. if you use
ShellExecuteEx() I think you can get instance handle returned as part of
the structure.

I would turn back viewable a
Minimized application from
another app!
An app will have to put back
viewable, an application that
have been minimised by the
user for too long...
I used ShellExecute.., but no
options can be used to do it.
Where to look..? Any hint!
Thanks..
