What happens when you run the following script ?

Run('"C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe"')
Sleep (1000) ; wait for 1 seconds to display the Notepad++ window

Local $hWnd   = WinGetHandle("[active]")
Local $sTitle = WinGetTitle("[active]")

MsgBox(BitOR(4096, 64), "Info Notepad++ :", _
                        "Handle : " & @CRLF & $hWnd & @CRLF & _
                        "Titel  : " & @CRLF & $sTitle  & @CRLF)

WinSetState($hWnd, "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
Sleep(2000)
WinSetState($hWnd, "",  @SW_MAXIMIZE)
Sleep(2000)
WinClose($hWnd)

THIS CODE MAY HELP:

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
While 1
if BitAND(WinGetState("Untitled - Notepad"), $WIN_STATE_MINIMIZED) Then
 WinSetState("Untitled - Notepad","", @SW_RESTORE )
EndIf
WEnd

or this:

ProcessClose("notepad++.exe")
ShellExecute(@ProgramsDir&"\Notepad++\notepad++.exe")
