Hello, I have asked a similar question before but it went unnoticed. I'm pretty sure this should be possible and i bet some of the gurus here know a very simple way to do it.


What I want to do is to restore a list of windows (which are minimized) on the desktop in a specific order. For example, say i have 4 windows, A B C and D. I want to place them so that A is the one on front (active) and D is the last one on the back (B and C in between).

This is possible using winrestore and then winactivate and winwaitactive or something alike, but that's extremely slow; and if i set the delay between windows operations to something smaller (1msec for instance) it stops working.

So i'm wondering if there's a way to do this that is not so slow? (the idea is to have them appear as quick as possible, so that it seems like they appeared all at the same time; i just want them to be ordered properly)

BTW did you notice that WinMinimizeAll followed by WinMinimzeAllUndo does not always restore the windows in the order they were when minimized? That's what i want to avoid.

I would appreciate any ideas
