Reading over this again. Still a little confused.
Are you looking to have your 'forms' appear on your desktop, and not in the VFP _screen element.

if that is the case, create your foms with desktop=.t.
and in your init and moved events of your forms, (or form classes)
put this pc of code.

_screen.Height =this.Height -50
_screen.Width = this.Width -12
_screen.Top =this.Top + 45
_screen.Left=this.Left +5

This is not the only solution, but I know it does what I think you are asking for.
