run win98 in win2k

[texasized]

I have heard that you can run an old program in win2k by selecting the shortcut properties and then selecting the drop down tab to select w95 or w98. How do I do this. I cannot find it or anything about it. I have some older games and programs that I would like to get to work. Thanks.

right click on a shortcut (to an executible) and select the compadibility tab

it works like shlt imo though so dont get your hopes up

Just to add. You need at least SP2 in order to do this. In my experience I have found that it works very well.

That is what I have heard of but I do not have a compatability tab or any other compatabilty option that I can find. Do you have to download something from windows to get it to work. I am running w2k pro SP3. Thanks.
