I wrote some programs under xp, compiled them and they worked pretty good. One program was a file manager and created directories and files via a shell. Well in 7 there is no shell and the program wont run. Can I run my older programs in 7?

I'm not aware of any SHELL problems in Windows 7 when using QB. If you are you running QB in 7, you need to create shortcuts on the desktop in 32 bit versions only. 64 bit does not have NTVDM.
What commands are not working in your program? Try them in QB64.

Also remember that win7 has a different directory structure than winxp. Text based programs should run fine.
