I think the Windows.000 is the backup of your Win98 just in case you decide to uninstall 
(that's what it was on my laptop I upgraded from 98).  You can go ahead and delete 
that folder if you feel so inclined. :)

Now, there are two ways to change your startup options so that it doesn't ask you 
if you want to run Windows XP or 98.  The "hide it" way, and the "get rid of it" 
way. :)

Hide It Way:
Start, Control Panel, System, Advanced tab, under Startup and Recovery Click Settings. 
 Where it says "Time to Display List of Operating Systems" you can change that time 
to 0 or 1, or whatever choice in seconds you want.  This will make that list appear 
and disappear quickly.

Get Rid of it Way:
Get back to the Startup and Recovery Settings.  Click on Edit.  under [Operating 
Systems] Remove the line of code that starts "multi(0)disk(0)....and finishes with 
something that says "Windows 98". (like this: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows.000="Windows 
98"/fastdetect)  That will remove the option to start up Windows 98. Save the file, 
close, restart...*voila*

There you go.  Any questions?  Don't hesitate to ask!
