>>I'm trying to create an EXE that begins with one of my forms as the main window, rather that some version of the VFP main window.

I just created an EXE from VFP 3.0b and there is no more VFP copyright screen as it was before. But, if I remember well, I think there was an option to disable that with prior versions. It's something like a -t option you put in the command line of the icon.
