Put your Win98 (SE works, too) CD in the drive(beg borrow or steal, but get one) and browse
its contents (any way you want). Go to the \TOOLS\RESKIT directory and double-click on
the Setup.exe icon. It will take you through the normal installation, but when it's finished
you'll have another program listing in the
Start button's Programs section: Windows 98 Resource Kit.
The Windows 98 Resource Kit program group has Release Notes, Online Book, Tools
Help, and Tools Management Console. The Management Console is the best place to start,
as you can get to all the other stuff from there.
The Resource Kit has an incredible amount of information and a bunch of useful programs.
Here are descriptions of just a few . You've really got to go through the programs
yourself ... and don't forget to take a look at all the great information about how Windows
works you can find in the included online documents.
CHECKLINKS.EXE: Link Check Wizard. Finds and eliminates dead links and shortcuts.
CLIPTRAY.EXE: Clip Tray. Optimizes and manages the Clipboard.
LFNBACK.EXE: Long Filename Backup Utility.
NETMON: Network Monitor. Service for remote monitoring of network performance
on Windows 98 client machines.
QUIKTRAY.EXE: Quick Tray. Organizes the icons in the Windows 98 system tray.
PWLEDIT.EXE: Windows 98 Password List Editor.
TEXTVIEW.EXE: Text file viewer. Quickly displays the contents of text files.
TIMETHIS.EXE: Time This. Scripting tool that times how long it takes for the
