Application Compatibility Toolkit
Can't seem to get Application Compatibility Toolkit to work for me. I select a bunch of options, and Myst and Mechwarrior 3 still recognize that I'm not using win95/98. Any tips on ACT?.

I have. It wipes out my AppPatch folder. It kills every single entry in there (including slayer.dll), and puts two folders in: backup and sources. After two format/installs, I've learned to compress down the folder before I start up[censored] on Microsoft's site, so all the .dll's are back where they should be.
Anyway I got both to work. Mechwarrior 3 and Myst work after I run setwin95 on the installer, to bypass the NT check. Thanks!

Remember to create the fix (using QFixApp), and also remember that you need to launch and _leave_running_QFixApp_before_ launching any game which you created a fix for.
