New Utilities and Wizards

Windows 98 also provides a variety of new utilities and wizards, including the following:

Update Wizard Connects to a Microsoft Web site to download the latest patches, drivers, and enhancements automatically.
Tune-Up Wizard Schedules utilities to defragment drives and to delete unnecessary files.
System File Checker Examines critical .DLL, .COM, .VXD, and other files, testing for corruption and/or modification. This utility will restore the original files if necessary.
Help Desk Supports troubleshooting by linking to local and Internet help resources, such as Online Help, the Bug Reporting Tool, and Microsoft Knowledge Base.
Disk Defragmenter/Optimization Wizard Creates a list and organizes the hard drive to make frequently accessed files readily available.
Accessibility Settings Wizard Provides utilities and customization to adapt the Desktop for handicapped users, such as a screen magnifier for the visually impaired.

While none of the features have any immediate impact on how you design applications for Windows 98, they may offer opportunities and perhaps a few suggestions for the directions of your own development efforts.
