Just to add to what Wayne said, you can create the config.fpw with any text editor like notepad or the built-in VFP text editor. To open the text editor, select file-new from the VFP menu and then choose the text file option. Once it is saved in your applications start-up directory, you can add it to the project to ensure it is run when the application starts. Note that running the application from the VFP development environment will not hide the main VFP window, because you need access to it when testing. If you compile the application into an executable and then run the executable, it will work as you expect. Hope this helps.
