Most likely when you upgraded to windows 7 you got the 64 bit version, whereas your xp is still running the 32 bit version. The rundll32 and SHELL32.DLL probably either do not exist in the version of windows 7 that you have (probably unlikely, but), or their locations are not on the classpath, the classpath probably has the reference to the newer 64 bit versions.
