The Win32 documentation for ShowWindow says that SW_SHOWNORMAL is to be used
when an app displays the window for the first time. SW_RESTORE is to be used
when an app restores a minimized window. Since SW_RESTORE is #defined as 9, and
SW_SHOWNORMAL is 1, I guess that Windows distinguishes between the two in some
subtle way.
MFC uses this for its frame windows:
if (!IsWindowVisible())
nCmdShow = SW_SHOWNORMAL;
else if (IsIconic())
nCmdShow = SW_RESTORE;
