I understand there is a way to run Windows XP to look
and perform as if it were Windows 98. Question is How?
 
It will look and perform more like Windows 2000. Lets hope it never performs
like Windows 98 ;-)

To get the "Classic" Startmenu just right click the Start button and select
Properties
To turn off some of XP's eye candy and free up resources right click My
Computer and select Properties->Advanced Tab
To make appearance changes to the Desktop just right click the Desktop and
select Properties->Themes and change Theme to "Windows Classic"
Install TweakUI for XP from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp then use the
setting as seen here http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/images/tu_searchfix.gif
to change Explorer to "Use classic search"

Those are a few basic tweaks but I'm certainly there are more
