Keep your flag outside all of the time.
Remember the flag must be lit up at night. So leave it out all night, just put a light on it.

You have a handful of applications that you want to close. Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the application you want to close on the taskbar. Right-click one of the applications. There will be a context menu for you to Close, Minimize, or Maximize. Select one action and all the applications you selected will close, minimize or maximize at the same time!

Now that DVD-ROM Drives are finally are all over the place, it is the perfect time to make sure you are getting the most out of your DVD-ROM.

In Windows 98, enabling DMA access for your DVD-ROM increases its speed. DMA access is supported by most new DVD-ROM Drives. Click on Control Panel then System and finally the Device Manager icon. Now select your DVD-ROM Drive and go to Properties.

Click on the DMA Box and make sure it is now checked. Then finally you will need to restart your PC for this to take effect. If your DVD does not support this option, Windows will simply uncheck the box.

Windows has a built in tool called REGEDIT that allows a user to easily and quickly goes into the registry and make changes, tweaks, and other little treats. However, the registry is also the "brain" of Windows, and damage to your registry can cause Windows to completely fail. If you feel the need to edit your registry, always make a backup from which you can restore it. For the average user of Windows, it is a good idea to simply leave the registry alone.

Windows 98 will change the contents of any floppy inserted into a Windows 98 System. This is to update the file system on the floppy to accept long filenames. This can have disastrous effects on your valuable disks. Diskettes affected include some older versions of MS-DOS startup diskettes, many copy-protected programs, and software that inspect the validity of the diskette before installing. To prevent Windows 98 from altering your floppies, the solution is quite simple:

After copying, saving, or performing any function within Explorer, you must refresh the folder to see the latest information. To get the latest contents and information, simply press F5, and the screen will momentarily flicker. This is Windows updating Explorer with the latest and greatest information.
