XP SP2 information
and e-book download link

XP SP2 is more of an update to the OS (Operating System) than just a normal SP (Service Pack). There are many changes to the OS, as well as Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. We have found it to be similar to when Win 98 was updated to Win 98SE.

Because of the nature of the new security settings for both Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, an e-book has been written with many screen shots included. Myself (Robbie), with a couple of my friends, have written this e-book. This update isn't the end all of end alls for XP SP2, but a starting point for ones that want to upgrade to XP SP2. The guide isn't written in stone and can be changed to suit your current needs. Most of it is suggestions taken from our experiences of testing this through the many betas over 6 months. We hope that you will find this guide to be useful and timesaving.

Many thanks to PamD and Shirley :O) for their help in testing XP SP2 and writing this e-book.  They put their machines in danger each time we installed a new build, but without them I couldn't have figured out each new setting or what to bug when.

Thank you also to Greg Campbell and Donald Anadell for their help when I first started testing XP SP2.  A Special thank you to Steve Cochran for being there behind stationery and scripting when it looked like it could die.
