You need to add a value called LogonMustValidate (I think that's the
name) to HKLM\Network (or it could be HKLM\Software\Network).  It
needs to be a DWORD with data of 0x01.

Beware that this makes it more painful than necessary if the computer
develops a problem with the network.  On 95, I hit Control-Escape at
the logon box and File/Run "explorer" to get round it; I have a
feeling that 98 may not allow that, but I can't check it as we don't
use 98.
