Really, REALLY bad advice here. Forcing Windows closed can corrupt files on
the hard drive and if SCANDISK is disabled you'll never know.

If 98 won't shut down properly, just push the power button on the front
of your computer. No harm done. It's a common problem with 98 an 98SE.

Just make sure you have scandisk set to not run after every improper
shutdown.
