<OT> Windows question

[Joel Hammer]

I don't think can help me. I am using 98. I wasted some time on the
Microsoft web site, but aside from a reference to it, I couldn't find this
resource kit, at least for 98.

I don't want to download anything off the net from some odd site or other as
this is a work computer and they wouldn't like that. Either would I.
