Maybe ShellExecuteEx() might not the right
tool I need.

I would just find a process 'already' running
for a long time, then, on an appropriate cue,
just getting em not minimized. The user
will put back minimized at will.

Assume the process who will do this job,
is surely not the one who start the target
process.


Yes, from what you wrote in the first place, I don't think you are
interested in starting the process. But are you interested in restoring
(un-minimizing) ALL the windows of a given process? If so, you can use the
ToolHelp library to iterate running processes and get the .exe name
associated with the process id. Then follow Joe's idea of using EnumWindows
and calling GetWindowThreadProcessId() for each one, then looking up the
process name for the process id using Toolhelp.

It would certainly be easier to just go by the window classname or title
text, but that is not as accurate.
