This is how you do it (or rather - one *possible* way to do it):

type
TForm2 = class(TForm)
private
{ Private declarations }
public
procedure CreateParams(var Params: TCreateParams); override;
end;

var
Form2: TForm2;

implementation

{$R *.DFM}

procedure TForm2.CreateParams(var Params: TCreateParams);
begin
inherited CreateParams(Params);
Params.WndParent:=0;
end;

You are doing something wrong. The default practice of the minimize
button is to send your program to the task bar. Are you handling the
minimize yourself? You shouldn't unless for something special.

That's only for main forms, I think. Secondary forms do indeed
minimise to the desktop IME.

Do they? I've never noticed. Do you mean chld forms or just other forms
to the main form?

Yes, they do. Unless you e.g. do what I posted in another reply.
