I myself just use the windows uninstall feature most of the time as it shows how much space a given application takes up. Plus it has the benefit of also purging registry entries. Only issue is "unclean" uninstall programs...
However remember ABF, MS has completely abandoned the 9x line. Unless you take things into your own hands regarding the OS, you aren't getting any updates. I would suggest the myriad of groups developing updated versions that attempt to replicate the nature of the 9x line (not emulators so much as copiers, like the alternate versions of DOS out there). I myself am interested in trying them out just to see if they do a better job than Windows 98SE or dosBOX in playing my old games. Once I get something that does the trick I'll hang onto it.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
