I don't know if this also affects win98 (haven't got a copy here and only
used it for a few months last summer), but I recall having problems running
scheduled tasks on win95 and I needed to run cfexec95.exe in the bin
directory because there was no scheduler built into win95. There's an
article in the allaire knowledge base about it. BTW, the PWS that came with
the first edition of win98 wouldn't allow CF access to execute files and
therefore it simply wouldn't work - if you have this you need a updated
copy of PWS.
