If you want to do this [which would make a *great* project, which I thought of years ago, but unfortunately spare time (or lack thereof) doesn't allow me to undertake this], please study 98SE2ME ReadMe:
http://www.mdgx.com/9s2m/read1st.php
and 98MP10 ReadMe:
http://www.mdgx.com/98mp10/98mp10.php
for files you can use to build 98SE2XP.
Besides those 2 upgrades there are tons of other files that can be added to 98SE2XP.
More info:
http://www.mdgx.com/add.htm
http://www.mdgx.com/web.htm
http://www.mdgx.com/ietoy.htm
http://www.mdgx.com/wmp.htm
http://www.mdgx.com/dx.htm
All these updates/files are also in SOFTWARE.TXT [single file you can "study" offline], as part of W95-11D.ZIP:
http://www.mdgx.com/95.htm

Such a project comprises a tremendous amount of work and dedicated time. I took over 2 years to test 98SE2ME properly.
But now things should be much easier, since a lot of our own MSFN members already tested a bunch of those files, and I'm sure they are willing to test some more.

Good luck, and don't hesitate to PM me if you need more help.

more components:
reg.exe

Anybody know any alternative to osk.exe ?

It would be interesting to rename the folder c:\windows\system\ to c:\windows\system32\

I've already used winhlp32 from WinXP with KernelEx for several weeks, I have not encountered any problems with it. It's better than Win98 one because my Win98 one didn't allow mouse wheel scrolling help topics.

-more components:

-problems:
rtcshare.exe + atl.dll

error message:

Sorry if my post is not of much help here, but I for one would like to see this 98SE2XP project happen.
I often partake in retro gaming events and usually end up taking an old (uaully a high-ish specced Pentium 3) PC running 98SE and a load of DOS and Windows 9x games running on it. It would be great to show my fellow retro gaming/retro computing friends that there's still life in 98SE (for those mad enough to still use it on a regular basis, which I know of a few)

which version of Diskeeper is most similar to winxp ?

kdsg, In case you were still wondering, I have a solution to OSK! It's the one from Windows ME and 2000.
On-Screen Keyboard from Windows ME or 2000 in 98SE?
