Windows 98 doesn't need MS plus (even though there is  a version for
windows 98) there is a Themes on Bought CD versions of windows 98.
in control panel click add/remove programs then click on the windows
setup tab....  then double-click desktop themes then check desktop
themes support... then you have to have the CD(windows 98 installation
cd not MS Plus) in to add it...Now you can have MS plus themes for win
98 without buying MS plus.... BTW i can do the wallpaper.....  part of
the theme and i can also make it into a theme if i can get all the parts
(sounds, wallpaper, icons, screen saver, and such)and then i can send it
to someone with a Good web page to post on the web (i have 5 MB of web
space not used but have no idea how to put one up on my ISP).
