SW_RESTORE will not work.
You can use ShellExecuteEx instead. It returns a handle to the process,
from which you can find the main window and bring to the front.

What about SW_RESTORE ?
Peter Below's bigger solution to this in his posting suggests this can
give
all sorts of control overn such a prog.
"The other option is to use CreateProcess to start the program. That gives
you (among other goodies) the threadID of the programs main thread. Which
you can then use with EnumThreadWindows to find the window(s) of that
thread. Go to http://www.deja.com, http://www.mers.com/searchsite.html,
http://www.tamracka.com or http://developers.href.com and search the
newsgroups for the API functions mentioned above for examples. "

Having some fun with Shellexecute. I am using it from my program to
get another application open one of its documents. No problem there.
However, if the application is ALREADY running, then the document
is opened within the existing application. Hmm. Not so good but no
real problem. Now the real problem. If the application is covered by
another
window, this it is not brought to top and its not obvious that the
document
has been opened all. It looks like my application is not doing its job.
I am calling shellexecute with shownormal. Any way to force the
application
to the top short of scanning the process list or findwindow and calling
setwindowpos on that instance?
