Windows shell commor free download for windows 7

[glutenfree66]

Hello,
I tried accessing a old baking program that I have on my new laptop w/windows 7. I used to be able to open program with XP windows. Its properties are asking to open using a windows shell commor, what does this mean? Thanks. Paul M.

Hello and welcome to Tom's Hardware Forums.

Try right clicking the file and click to run in Compatibility Mode for XP - that might be enough to make it fly right. Some programmes simly won't run in Windows 7 if the developers chose to promote more recent versions and want you to spend more money on those.
