It kinda depends on where the icon is.  Is it a toolbar button?  Is
it in the system tray?  Is it just the minimized icon of your app? Is
it the system menu icon on your main window?

All those make a difference. :/

If it's just a simple icon, the minimized application kind, the easiest
I've found is to use ShowWindow( SW_HIDE ), followed by
ShowWindow( SW_SHOW ), after a specified interval.

Hope it helps,
Jeff
