I just rechecked my console app that uses that code.
I use  EnumWindows(EnumProc,0); to get a list of hwnds that the user
can select. I then run that handle through the code I gave, and even
restored minimized windows can be minimized again.

If that code isn't working for you then either the hwnds aren't the
proper ones, or VCL is otherwise screwing with you.
