Enable XP SP2's "Show Updates" Option

One change made by SP2 is the new feature that lets you see the updates that have been installed for your application programs. This is handy for keeping up with the patch status of your programs, but you need to enable it. Here's how:

1. Click Start | Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs.
2. At the top of the Add or Remove Programs window, check the checkbox labeled "Show updates."
3. Scroll to the program for which you want to see updates. The updates will be listed under the program name, along with the date when each update was installed.
