The first thing you'll see once you've upgraded is the Welcome screen below. We highly recommend you take the time to take the Windows 98 Tour to see all of the new features it has to offer. From the Welcome screen, you'll have access to several new sources of information, including:

The Registration Wizard - from here you can register your copy of Windows 98 right over the internet, right now.

The Internet Connection Wizard - streamlined to make it even easier to get connected - you can even find and subscribe to an ISP (Internet Service Provider) if you don't already have internet access.

The Windows 98 Tour - what better way to see all of the newest features of the latest operating system from Microsoft?

The Maintenance Wizard - you'll love this one, it can lend a hand in keeping your machine running in tip-top shape. It handles many maintenance chores from scheduling Defrag and ScanDisk, to deleting unused files on a regular basis.

The new Defrag now comes with the ability to monitor your most-used programs, then moves these files to the front of your hard disk for faster access. And as always, there's a handy checkbox provided to turn this feature off so you don't have to see it every time you start up.
