I've had a look in the registry. In there is a CLSID of
{7BA4C740-9E81-11CF-99D3-00AA004AE837}
which identifies as "Microsoft SendTo Service".

On each machine the (Default) value in the InProcServer32 entry is:

Win2k: %systemroot%\system32\shell32.dll
Win95: c:\windows\system\shdocvw.dll
Win98: c:\windows\system\shdoc401.dll

Versions on each of the systems are:

                   Win2k            Win95          Win98
shell32.dll :  5.0.3315.2902   4.00.1111       Don't Know Yet
shdocvw.dll :  5.50.4913.1500  5.50.4522.1800  Don't Know Yet
shdoc401.dll:  Doesn't Exist   5.50.4522.1800  5.50.4134.600

Could this be the reason? The shdocvw.dll and shdoc401.dll files on Win95 
have the same date and time as well as version (and are [probably], as you 
can see, more recent than the version I have Win98). Perhaps if I copied 
those to my Win98 system it would behave the same!

If anyone's using Win98 I'd appreciate it if you could check your registry 
settings and these files for version numbers etc and let me know. 
Especially if you can send multiple files to emacs without having multiple 
instances created!

By the way - I just wanted to express my appreciation for the suggestions 
I've had so far. I know at times I have probably appeared a bit rude about 
it so please forgive me. It does seem however that we are getting somewhere 
with this one, even though it's technically not an Emacs issue.
