Dock form to top and move all other windows beneath

Hi,

I am new to building windows forms and have managed to make my form
land at the top of my screen.

What I would like to do now is to make all the other applications move
beneath that form. Not in a layers point of view, but physically not
allow other windows to encroach on my form. Therefore any other open
applications when maximised, their top edge are at the bottom of my
form.

Does anybody have any ideas ?

Thanks
James
