You can use Sean's program to remove the taskbutton and then use WinActivate if you need.But i only tried it in winXP
Maybe the title is misleading but the downloaded zipfile also contains taskbutton.ahk and trayicon.ahk so it works on both trayicons and taskbuttons.

I used this once to play with notepad program,it will hide then show the button (if notepad is running!)
Code:
DetectHiddenWindows, On
; see source of this program here http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic17314.html
