Using VBScript to minimize, restore/maximize, close window
Note that the WScript.Sleep calls are more for effect in demonstration than anything else.
Depending on the keystrokes you send and the responsiveness of the application, you may have to use
a few strategically placed WScript.Sleep calls to let the application react...
=======================================
set shell = createobject("wscript.shell")
shell.run "about:blank"
wscript.sleep 2000
success = shell.appactivate("about:blank")
if success then shell.sendkeys "% n" '...minimize
wscript.sleep 2000
success = shell.appactivate("about:blank")
if success then shell.sendkeys "% x" '...maximize
wscript.sleep 2000
success = shell.appactivate("about:blank")
if success then shell.sendkeys "% r" '...restore
wscript.sleep 2000
success = shell.appactivate("about:blank")
if success then shell.sendkeys "%{F4}" '...maximize
