Application not showing in the taskbar

citrixwindows 7

We have a credit card program, Ocius.

Unfortunately this does not show in the taskbar and in our citrix environment users can alt-tab to it running as a local application but with windows 7, citrix online plugin and res vdx it doesn't work. after loosing focus users can't get it back, Res VDX can't see it because Ocius doesn't have a taskbar, citrix can't see it because it's a local app and windows 7 won't show it in the alt-tab option.

Is it possible to force a program to run showing in the taskbar?

If not can i program a container (a program that will open Ocius within it) so it will show in the taskbar?

If not is there any program that can bring other programs into focus? E.G

BringToFocus.exe /app:Ocius.exe

I found AutoIT can do this with the following script.

If ProcessExists('OCIUS4PC.exe')  Then 
   WinActivate("Ocius");
Else 
   Run("<PATH TO FILE>\OCIUS4PC.exe");
EndIf
