Hello!
I am using Miscrosoft Visual Studio 2005.

I made a form. How do I always make it the top window so it will always be seen even when i open other windows?

Thanks in advance!

What's wrong with just reading of the standard MSDN documentation?
And don't ask about "Visual Studio 2005", ask about .NET v.2.0. Do I even have to explain why?

Don't talk in this way to other people. Stop it.

If you are in same form on form load you can do

VB

Me.TopMost = true;

else if you are doing the same from a different form while opening then,

VB

MyForm.TopMost = true.

Hope this will be of help for you to keep a form above all in Windows forms application.
