Start Shutdown Re-start in MS-DOS Mode

At the prompt, type:

deltree c:\windows\history

When prompted, press Y to delete the folder (windows will re-create a
new
one for you)

Re-start your computer or type WIN to return to Windows without a
re-start
(not reccomended)

I have windows 98 in my laptop and it is not starting up it seems
that
the
files in the history folder are of the incorrect file name length.

how can I remove these files as just deleting them has not worked,
it
still
shows up that the files are there after deleting them.
also I have done a delete temp files in the properties of internet
explorer.

I can get into safe mode, but it will not start-up normally.

done a disk defrag and a scan disk and surface scan, still not
starting
up,
what else can I do to get it to work,

thanks in advance for any help given.
