I am having the same problem with 98, at shutdown, the system seems to hand and the system won't shut down, I have to manually shut the system down, which of course upon startup launches the scandisk with the usual messsage with scandisk.
One thing I have done, that has helped with both 95 and 98 is to sys the system, using the start up disk created during initial installation. This disk can also be created from the control panel/add remove programs/startup disk tab.
After launching the start up disk, i choose to start the computer without cd support. At the "A" prompt, I type in Sys C:. When the message appears that the system transfer is complete, I shut down and reboot.
This seems to correct the problem for me.
You might give this a try and let me know if it works for you.
One other thing I have done, after getting extremely frustrated with this problem, is to do a very intense, format, partition, format and reinstall. (LAST RESORT)

"One-click shutdown
If you have Clean Sweep Deluxe, Mike recommends that you disable it before proceeding.
On the desktop, right-click and go to New, then to Shortcut. (In other words, create a new shortcut.) Then on the following path name type:
C:\windows\rundll.exe user.exe,exitwindows
If the C: drive is not your local hard drive, then replace "C" with the correct letter of the hard drive.
Now whenever you want toshut down, just click on this shortcut and you're done.
Also, if you want to make life better and faster, you can right-click the new shortcut you just made, go to Properties, and type in X (or whatever letter) in the Shortcut Key box."
