Instead of using
ShellExecute, useCreateProcess. You can then eaisly get a handle to the app you executed."Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997

SHELLEXECUTEINFO structure contains a member variable hProcess contains a handle to the new started process, but you mast set fmask to SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS. and it will be NULL if no process launched. Hope this help you.

Can you use
ShellExecuteEx()instead?

You can use EnumWindow function (see MSDN). This way you'll get handles of all toplevel windows from your system. Now if you know some properties of the window you want to maximize(ex. windows name), you can easy find and maximize it.
