What do you want to happen when the user clicks the Start button? When I
click the Start button I kinda expect the Start menu to get the focus.

Set the form's TopMost property to True.

Unfortunately, if TopMost property is true, form can still loose focus.

I disabled Start button and others like Alt-Tab. But if other program
shows its form, it can steel focus from my app.
