98lite

98lite is a complex and efficient piece of software created for computers running Windows ME or Windows 98 as an operating system.

Its main purpose is to assist users in modularizing Windows components and applications, enabling them to individually remove specific ones, without much effort.

The program installs on a DOS level, featuring both automatic and manual installation processes, the latter requiring at least some average knowledge in order to ensure that no accidental damage occurs throughout the operation.

With 98lite, users can select the exact features that they need from Windows, excluding the ones that they have no purpose for, simultaneously reducing the level of PC resources that are being consumed by these applets.

One of the handy functions provided by 98lite refers to the ability to perform a ‘Shell Swap’, enabling users to work with the Windows 95 shell on Windows 98 systems, in order to benefit from increased speed.

Moreover, it is able to remove or add Internet Explorer (yet leaving the core HTML engine in order to permit the use of compressed HTML help), Outlook Express, Active Movies, TCP/IP Utilities, the Connection Manager, RealPlayer or Media Player, the System information tool as well as the ‘ReadMe’ files from the Windows directory, in order to clear up space on the computer.

98lite comes with an extensive help documentation, intended to assist users in understanding the program’s functions, including even a ‘Features’ Guide’, thus allowing them to discover how they can take full advantage of it.
