Why would you want to change standard Windows behaviour? What is so special about your program that it should always be visible even when the user decides otherwise.

I agree with the comment above regarding changing standard Windows behavior. This is something you shouldn't do without a very good reason.

That said, you should be able to override this behavior by handling the window's resize event. If the window's state is minimized, change it to normal (I believe that's the name of the state, but you can figure it out).
