In my case it takes 1 to 2 seconds to have Zim window on foreground. I 
am Not sure if this have any influence on delay, but I have the Zim 
shortcut placed in the quicklaunch taskbar folder. Try the following path:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\

Anyway I understand that even 1 or 2 seconds of delay can be unbearable 
for many, but a not big issue for an old engineer like me.

Some time ago, maybe one year or two, I tried to use VBScript to bring 
Zim window to focus. It was faster but unreliable. Sometimes the program 
was activated, because you could see the icon blinking in the taskbar, 
but the window remained buried below other programs.

I remember I have read somewhere that VBS AppActivate method could fail 
to bring window to focus under certain conditions. By that time I didn't 
want to spend more time with VBS coding then I gave up with my "Bring to 
Front" script project.

I have read that some people use AutoHotKey for this kind of stuff but, 
compared with 4 or 5 lines in VBS, it is the same of using a cannon to 
kill a fly. I do not think this is an elegant solution, but this is my 
personal opinion.
