The spool goes into the temp files folder.
You can change that in your autoexec.bat (yes, this still controls
things in Win98).
eg, to put them in a folder called TEMP on the H drive, add these 2
lines:

SET TEMP=h:\TEMP
SET TMP=h:\TEMP

You might also want to move your virtual memory file.
Right-click My Computer and choose Properties. Click Performance,
Virtual Memory and check "Let me specify my own virtual memory
settings". In the 'Hard disk' drop-down list, select an alternative
drive. Set the 'Minimum size' and 'Maximum size' to the same number.
Click Yes to acknowledge the warning, select Close, and click Yes to
restart your PC.
