SCREEN = OFF in CONFIG.FPW.

Use a post-setup executable and either George Tasker's LNKFILES.DLL or Wscript.Shell's CreateShortcut method to build the shortcut programmatically. You can write the post-setup executable in VFP and burn a CONFIG.FPW with RESOURCE = OFF and SCREEN = OFF into it pretty safely as long as nothing complex is being done.
