If you have applied the Windows 98 shutdown supplement patch, the option to disable fast shutdown should be absent from the advanced tab of Msconfig. If you still wish to disable fast shutdown, copy and paste the following into a new text file, and name it FastOff.reg. The final line must remain blank.
------------------Start FastOff.reg---------------- REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Shutdown] "FastReboot"="0"
-----------------End of FastOff.reg----------------
Double click Fastoff.reg, and merge with the registry.
Restart your computer.
To reenable fast shutdown, create FastOn.reg. Change the FastReboot value from 0(zero) to 1(one).
If you wish to be extra cautious, create a complete registry backup before merging such files with your registry. Type scanregw /backup in the run dialog and press OK. If something goes wrong, type scanreg /restore from the DOS prompt, and type enter. Select the registry backup that you just made.
To disable Find Fast, go to the Find Fast control panel, and double click to open. Select each item in the list, and choose "delete index" from the index menu. Confirm that you wish to do this.
When all the indexes have been deleted, choose "close and stop" from the same index menu.

I guess I've got the older version of Win98. There is no "fast shutdown" option.
