There most certainly IS a CLSID folder in
hkey_classes_root in 98se.......

It's about 2/3rds of the way down in the listing ,after
the list turns to capital letters.......
Under the   "C's" (alphabetical listing)

Click on the  +  sign beside the listing HKEY_CLASSES...
a REALLY long list will drop down underneath it
Scroll down until you find  CLSID........

There is a check box in desktop properties, Effects. You can hide icons when used as web page. Dick (phantom)

There is definitely a HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID key in the Win98 se registry. Better look again.

You click   START  button...
Click   RUN....
enter   regedit   into the box..
Click OK....

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT  is the topmost entry

Click on the  +  sign beside it.....
