XP uses the Windows XP theme by default. To get a Win98 look and feel, you
would change the theme to Windows Classic.
Wallpaper, pointers and sounds all have corresponding files. Make copies of
those in case you do not find comparable files in XP. You can integrate
them into the various windows folders or just create a folder to hold these
transferred files. Setting these up in XP would be a simple matter of
opening the corresponding control panel and selecting from the copied
files.
Screensaver: Some Win98 screensavers work in XP and some don't. If yours is
a third party screensaver, check with their tech support to see if they
recommend using it with WinXP or have an XP version available.
Customized colors: When using Classic in XP, most of the color "schemes"
that were in Win98 are still available. But for customized colors, you'll
want to record the numbers on your Win98 setup for each color. You can look
up a color in the Windows color picker and write these numbers down. Then
use those numbers with the color picker in WinXP to recreate them.
