Probably a long shot, but, since Win7 and later don't give any useful right click options on the taskbar anymore... have you tried restoring such stuck minimized windows through Task Manager? It still gives the full options when you right click an entry in the "Applications" tab.
It doesn't appear to have made a difference compared to normal... I tried opening some of them about 15 minutes before I posted this.
RA didn't minimize four of five times launching it, TD three of five, but RA2 one of five, Renegade was only one that didn't work out of tests and just kept minimizing itself, more interesting though is for the ones that did work my desktop and any open windows would flash randomly every once in a while but wouldn't effect the game and I could also alt-tab out and back into them as well.
Honestly it just seems random I tried watching what programs came up and how much cpu/disk with no difference in any of the attempts.
Thank you for trying to help me with this I know it must be annoying.
