I have this in my .emacs, and it works for me under XP (I'm using
Emacs 21.3, if that matters):

(make-variable-frame-local 'my-frame-state)

(defun my-frame-maximize ()
  "Maximize Emacs window in win32"
  (interactive)

  (modify-frame-parameters nil '((my-frame-state . t)))
  (w32-send-sys-command ?\xf030))

 (defun my-frame-restore ()
   "Restore Emacs window in win32"
   (interactive)

   (modify-frame-parameters nil '((my-frame-state . nil)))
   (w32-send-sys-command ?\xF120))

(defun my-frame-toggle ()
  "Maximize/Restore Emacs frame based on `my-frame-state'"
  (interactive)
  (if my-frame-state
          (my-frame-restore)
        (my-frame-maximize)))
