My workaround is to pin emacs.exe to the taskbar and runemacs.exe to the
start menu. When I want to start Emacs I have to use the shortcut in my
start menu, but once it is running I can just use its taskbar icon as
normal. This works reasonably well for me because I typically start
Emacs once per desktop session and then just leave it running...
