    I had to the do same thing on my Win98 Virtual PC install, when a  
software install got confused and installed a wackload of Windows NT style  
drivers into my Win98, frying Windows Explorer to the point of where I  
couldn't boot. Had to reboot in command prompt mode, and do the above  
change to run the task manager (TASKMAN.EXE, which I used instead of  
PROGMAN.EXE).
