Then they are not fully closed.

I never said that WS_EX_APPWINDOW by itself would tell you all of the
items that are actually in the TaskBar.  Only windows with the
WS_EX_APPWINDOW style are allowed to appear in the TaskBar, but that
is not a guarantee that they actually will appear.  One thing you can
do is query the window's Owner window.  If an WS_EX_APPWINDOW window
has no owner, then it will appear in the TaskBar.

One thing to keep in mind is that a window's TaskBar button may be
managed by another window instead (and the VCL actually does this).
So it may be that a given window does not have the WS_EX_APPWINDOW
style, but it may have a hidden owner window that does.
