Writing .infs for XP and 98, but mutually exclusive

Hi all,

I'm almost done writing an inf file for win98 and win2000/xp that simply uses the addreg command to fill in values for the domain suffix search order in the registry of the workstations. (neither our dhcp or dns servers are MS here).
The problem is, XP, if I'm not mistaken, "responds" to both $Chicago$ and $Windows NT$, but since we have both 98 and XP on our network (I plan to deliver this via login script, using rundll32), I'm afraid that values meant for 98 will also be written to XP registrys. XP uses a different registry key for it's suffix search order info, so obviously, this is a problem;
(HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCP/IP in XP, vs HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP in Win98) How can I write an inf for Win98 and make sure the XP machines won't try to modify their registries as well ?
Thanks !
