gvim is iconized (resp. send to the background) with
     CTRL-Z
so for me it is useful to start it with
     CTRL-ALT-Z
which is easily configured from the properties menu of a windows shortcut  pointing to gvim.exe using the right mouse button.
Since  the last command brings gvim into the foreground if it has already been started, the above  2 control-commands toggle between another application and gvim very fast.
