OK, so I went ahead and coded that more robust version. This uses Windows API commands (SendMessage, PostMessage, DLLCall) to find the Quick Launch toolbar, find the desired button, then execute it. ...

It's simply sending a sequence of keys to get to the icon. Here's the order:

1. win-tab selects the taskbar
