There is no such thing as "minimize to tray".  What actually happens is the
window is simply made hidden instead, and then a tray icon is displayed.
Those operations are completely separate from each other.

FindWindow() works fine when locating hidden windows.  What is likely
happening is that when the window is being hidden, its caption text is being
cleared or changed as well.  Then the window text you are looking for would
no longer match.  Are you looking for the window text only, or are you
looking for the window class name as well?  Have you tried using Microaoft's
Spy++ utility, or Borland's WinSight utility, or other similar tool, to see
what actually happens to the window when it is "minimized"?
