In windows folder delete hidden files system.da0 and user.da0
also rename system.dat and user.dat to system.bak and user.bak
Copy \system.1st to \windows\system.dat
All above files are hidden so change properties in explorer or use
attrib -s -r -h to reveal them.
Then reboot.
You should be prompted for the win 98 setup disk but it should only set
up device drivers etc.
Any previously installed application programs will still be there but
they may not run correctly without reinstallation as all their registry
setting will be in the .bak files and therefore unavailable to them.
