I believe the QuickView component was optional in Windows 95, but included
by default in 98 and 98SE.  So when you right-click on a file in Windows
Explorer, the third menu option should be "Quick View".

  If it's an .EXE file, Quick View will show about a page of header
information about the file.  While most of it is programmer gobbledegook, it
will pretty clearly indicate whether it's a DOS or Windows executable; if
Windows, whether 16-bit or 32-bit and for what Windows versions it was
intended.
