These 2 should always load during startup and run in the background with Windows 98, 98SE, and ME.

I can't explain it much simpler than the way I've got it written down.

What part of the instructions are you unsure or confused about?

I have win98SE on my old computer. What does this registry really do? Is it necessary for all win98?

Are you talking about

ScanRegistry scanregw.exe

which is among the list in Start - Run - MSCONFIG - OK - "Startup"(tab)?

If you don't want to mess around in the registry editor you could just save this as a .reg file and run it

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"ScanRegistry"="C:\\WINDOWS\\scanregw.exe /autorun"
"SystemTray"="SysTray.exe"

I assume this is not necessary for XP machines.

Firstly: Nice Thank you.

Second: Will it work on XP? No. Just with 98, 98SE, and ME.

Third: Why would you want to do that? They are needed and should always be running in the background.
