As I recall, there are a whole lot of problems with makeing a Quick Basic
program run as a TSR.  I think it has something to do with the run-time 
routines, but I have never used QB, so I can't say for sure.

The only program I can think of that might help you is a thing called
Software Carousel.  I'm not sure who makes it, but it's pretty popular.
You might also try DESQ-View.
