Dear Martin,
ok, I took a recent emacs version (64 Bit) from here: 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/emacsbinw64/files/snapshot/

- starting "runemacs -iconic"
 
is working now as expected, emacs stays iconified in the menubar

- adjusting the desktop icon's properties  in such a way that the application should start iconified does currently not work (GNU Emacs 25.0.50.1 (x86_64-w64-mingw32)
 of 2015-06-26 on KAEL), emacs pops up in the foreground (using "runemacs"). You have to add "-iconic" to the commandline of the icon configuration in order to make this functional.

The second case is kind of toleable but still emacs does not behave as a regular windows application would do. Apparently the attributes of the icon do not get propagated to the application somehow.
This is just to let you know about my findings, many thanks for your efforts and suggestions anyway,
take care

Dieter Jurzitza
