Jim,

I seem to remember that at one time Microsoft stated that RegClean should
not be used in Windows 98. However, KB article Q147769 "INFO: RegClean 4.1a
Description and General Issues"
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q147/7/69.asp?LN=EN-US&SD=gn&FR=0
currently states that:
"The information in this article applies to:
        Microsoft Windows 98
        Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.51, 4.0
        Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.51, 4.0
        Microsoft Windows 95
        Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional"
I have been using RegClean in Windows 98 for nearly 2 years without
encountering any particular problems (at least any that I am aware of). It
is my totally unprofessional opinion that the two programs may perform
slightly different functions. Some of the list gurus may have more specific
information?
Regards,
Rosalind Walters
