The zero in the handlelist command arguments makes it address visible
windows only, so obviously your thumb windows are visible. You will
need to identify something unique about the windows you don't want to
minimize, possibly the class. Try the script below, then change
"whatever" to the class of the thumb windows. You can remove or
comment out the debug line when its doing what you want.

local hlist = win.handlelist("*", 0)

for (local i = 1; i le hcount; i++)
local myinfo = "Keep: "
local h = word(hlist, i)
if (h.class ne "whatever" and h.exename ne "PowerPro" and
h.exename ne myexe) do
myinfo = "Min: "
win.minimize(h)
endif
win.debugshow(myinfo++"exename:"++h.exename, "handle:"++h, ;;+
