A better solution was recently discussed just a few post back. If you can't
see it here is the link that provides a fix issued for NT4 but works well for 98 too.

This link is poor. Using my Win98 with firefox 3.x on dialup, It took a
half hour to load, gave me a security error and when I finally got to
the page, there was no download link to click on. (It's a cnet page).

But they did list the above webpage, which is the author's site. I
clicked on it, it loaded in seconds and clicking on "Desktop Restore"
took me right to the downloads. There are 6 versions of it. The bottom
one is for Win98. The others are for XP up to Win10. Some are 64 bit.
Dont waste your time with cnet, and the extreme amount of ads they bloat
you with. Go directly to the site I posted.

Now that I got the file, I'll try it. But have not done so yet.
