I have custom macros that are saved in an .xls file under the XLStart/ folder
in Excel 2003. These macros are referenced by an Excel11.xlb file that holds
the toolbars. All of these automatically open because they are under the
XLStart/ folder. How do I get them into Excel 2007 so they will open
automatically and how can I get the custom toolbar file to show up.
 
I would drop the toolbar file and create that toolbar on the fly when excel
opens the .xls file. It'll make things much easier.

In xl2007, those toolbars and menu modifications will show up under the addins.

If you want to learn about modifying the ribbon, you can start at Ron de Bruin's
site:

addin)
or

And Bob Phillips shows a way to use a wrapper so that it can work in both xl2003
and xl2007.
