For the few folks who haven't heard about this being a hoax yet -- absolutely

do not delete Sulfnbk.exe -- it is a needed execution file in Windows 98 that

is used to reconstruct corrupted long-name files. Please check these things

out before you post them. There's alot of folks scrambling to reconstruct

this file after deleting it.
