Basically I play too much games for me to use Win2k as my main operating system..so basically I just have a few questions..

1) What's the best way to remove Win2k and the boot menu? I'm dual botting with 2k and 98 now and want to just remove 2k and default it to 98.
2) How do I back up all my wonderful spam in Outlook Express to view in 98?
3) What else should I do?

1. have no idea, except just setting Win98 as first option during boot option.
2. export all your spams from outlook in W2k, then import it in your outlook in W98.
3. pray??? hehe.

if it's not too much work for ya, I would just clean our your hd and install a fresh W98.
up to you though...

Boot to Win98 and go into DOS. sys c: will get rid of the boot menu.

If you are using OE for HoTMaiL, jut copy your mesgs to HoTMaiL, and pull then back locally in win98.

Right click on your 'my computer' in win2k, click on 'properties', click on 'advanced', click on 'startup and recovery', in the default operating system, make sure it reads' win98 or windows' then uncheck the display list of operating systems box and when you reboot, win2k will no longer be an option, will go to win98 from now on.
