remote-app (RDP) restore minimized apps
hey everyone
when I minimize an app which is launched using the "remote-app" with RDP. I cannot get it back easily..
is there any solution to fix this? like a little button which just reverts the apps or any way to just disable minimizing apps completely on windows?
because the problem is, when I launc the app again it will open just a 2nd iteration of the same app in the same session.. so after a few times a user will open the same app many times and have it running in the background.

I found the solution for me:
Ctrl + Alt + Tab
keeps the alt-tab open till you click..

Alt+Enter does something else for me (it will show details of a file when I have it highlighted in explorer.exe for example.
what I also tried is using "Task View"
%windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{3080F90E-D7AD-11D9-BD98-0000947B0257}
but this only seems to work on full-Desktop mode.. in app-mod eit just doesn't do anything.
I think if this would work it would be th ebest solution for me..
so maybe soemone has an idea on how to get this to work?

Hi there:
A workaround is to have the user type Alt+Enter and this will re-open the
minimized window.

You're definitely not the first person to come across this, and it is
easily reproducible. I've spent some time trying to find a good solution
and have come up empty so far. The biggest challenge with regard to how
Guacamole handles this is that RemoteApp support tends to assume that the
local (client) window manager controls will be hidden and the remote
(server) controls will be used to handle sizing and control of the actual
application window. In a browser-based world, this isn't necessarily as
straight-forward as it is in a more traditional RDP client -> RDP server
world. There still seems to be some level of signaling between the RDP
client and server, since minimizing a RemoteApp does result in the local
window manager recognizing it as minimized, and clicking on it on the local
taskbar restores it correctly.
All that said, it seems like there probably is a way to handle it, but it's
a matter of coming up with a good way in Guacamole to accomplish that
signaling between the browser and the remote application, via guacd.
Possible, but not necessarily easy.
