What is it. What does it do. It's found in the Scheduled Tasks under Tune-up Application Start. Danged if I can find any specifics on it.

Johnny on the spot you are.
The only references I've found to the Winalign are in the Registry under DocFindSpecMRU under HKEY_CURRENT_USER. It lists walign, winaligh.exe, and winalign. Nothing listed under the string you mention or anywhere else. I'm guessing that I don't have Winalign then. If I don't have it, should I get it or is it worth the bother really??
I'm not sure if I know what the Windows 98 Resources Kit is, I've heard of it. I'm sure I can find it if necessary.
So then, these things are good to run, and if so, how often??

In theory they are meant to align the code in MS programs to make it load faster. In practice, its barely noticeable. As the notes above indicate, once you run it, it doesn't need to be run again on the same code.
As for resource kit features, the can be found on the Win98 CD. Pop the Windows 98 installation CD in your CD-ROM drive. When the Welcome To Windows 98 dialog box appears, click Browse This CD. Navigate your way to the tools\reskit folder, double-click Setup.exe, then follow along to complete the installation. When it finishes, restart Windows 98.
