Most of these uninstall programs will be within the menu of the program itself (ie. Start --> Programs --> ProgramX --> ... Uninstall ProgramX).

If the program is so limited that there's absolutely no "uninstall" to be found, then search the registry and remove keys manually (backup each paragraph before removing so that you may recover if you need to). Start --> Run --> Regedit --> Edit --> Find --> etc.

Another alternative would be to clean install Win2000 Pro, or Win98 and then upgrade to 2000 without all the stuff that was originally loaded into Win98. Usually the first is the best option.
