"Did you just select <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>Start</SPAN>/ <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>Documents</SPAN> only to discover that the file you wanted has been bumped from the list? Don't worry, you can access all of your files from the <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>Documents</SPAN> list (assuming you store your documents in <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>My Documents</SPAN>). Inside the Documents list, select the top dog, <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>My Documents</SPAN>. There you have it--instant access to all your data files.",

"The Win98 Maintenance Wizard (<SPAN CLASS='tbold'>Start</SPAN>/ <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>Programs</SPAN>/ <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>Accessories</SPAN>/ <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>Systems Tools</SPAN>) will make your programs run faster, check your hard disk for problems and free up hard disk space by auto-running Disk Defragmenter, ScanDisk and DiskCleanup according to a schedule you set. If you leave your computer on, you can schedule maintenance at off-hours (such as midnight to 3 a.m.) to minimize downtime during work hours.",

"When you display a folder's contents inside an open window, by default, you see them against a white background (unless you've chosen a color scheme with a different window color). As with the Windows 98 desktop, you can apply any image or wallpaper to that window background. That background is unique to that folder. If you wanted to, you could apply a different background to every folder on your system!<BR> Open any folder window you want to customize and select <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>View</SPAN>, <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>Customize This Folder</SPAN>. Select <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>Choose A Background Picture</SPAN>, then click <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>Next</SPAN>. Select any of the files in the resulting list; or click <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>Browse</SPAN>, select an image, and click <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>Open</SPAN>. Click <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>Next</SPAN>, click <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>Finish</SPAN>, and check out that icon backdrop!",

"To collapse a folder in the left pane of a two-paned Explorer window: Simply press the minus sign (-) at the top of the expanded branch, the folders inside will appear to collapse; but the next time you expand that folder, its contents appear fully expanded.

Now just follow along to complete the <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>Enable Multi-user Settings</SPAN> wizard. You'll need to select a user name, a password, and the items you want to customize. Click <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>Finish</SPAN>, wait for Windows 98 to set up the new profile, then click <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>Yes</SPAN> to restart Windows (or <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>No</SPAN> to restart later). To set up the next user,  double-click <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>Users</SPAN>, click the <SPAN CLASS='tbold'>New User</SPAN> button, and so on.<BR><BR>From now on, whenever you start Windows 98, you'll get a Welcome To Windows dialog box.
