:omg: I hope you did so on a VM, so all you need to do is a secure erase of the VM files, rather than calling in the hazmat team.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

I'm rather shocked it is willing to run under Windows 7. Or are you running it in a Windows 2000 VM?

How cool is that! I would love to tinker with some old vb6 code; brings back the old days. You should write an article about it. :)

You do know that, after seeing VB, Satan added another level of Hell just for us programmers! In fact, there are all sorts of rooms in the level, especially tailored for Javascript and Ruby on Rails as well. The irony is that people who go there actually think they died and went to heaven, hahahaha! Marc

And how are you planning to compile it. Some of the old VB6 code we have will only run when compiled on an old XP computer rather than anything newer. (it will compile on 7, but not run properly) I have to keep a XP virtual machine just for the task.. (I'm hoping to have got rid of all VB6 programs in the next 12 months.. Yipee)
I'm not actually. The build process is on another machine. I just need to edit some code and hope to God it doesn't crash.

Lucky you. We have a body of code we maintain with Visual Studio 2003 X| . It runs under Win7, but with a number of options set on the shortcut to make it run: admin and a couple graphics things turned off. It also has a bug in that if you run under the debugger, you then have to exit VS2003 before compiling again. The debugger fails to close a handle to the debugger symbols file, which causes subsequent compiles to fail.
