A simple search on Microsofts web site for SP2 came up with this page.

I downloaded SP2 from a Internet site and it was huge 262mb, and it seemed to
install OK, but now I can't view Temporary Internet Files, and names of the
Explorer folders seem to be different than those I have at the office.
Firewall did not install either. Someone mentioned that this may be a
network version, whatever that means? But, I was unable to get Microsoft to
download SP2 from Updates, so I took the chance that this was a viable route
to go? I question that now... does anyone know how to get the Temporary
Internet Files to appear in Explorer, I can locate the Temporary Interent
File folder, but there's no detail! I don't have any hidden files, and I use
the classic view, with details and extensions, but no Temporary Internet
Files appear????
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate on all accounts. Plus, I was
unable to post a new message under Windows XP general just a few minutes ago.
Thanks, and Happy New Year, Patrick

Hi,

You have SP1 installed with some additional updates. You will find SP2 here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyI...

It's a whopper at 266MB. The Auto-update version (aka the Express version)
will be smaller as it will only download the parts you need. The full
network version contains everything, including all critical updates since
XP's original release, many of which you probably already have.

Nutcase, do you have any thoughts?

Nutcase:
FYI, I don't have the Temporary Internet Folder being emptied when I close a
browser. I tried to look at all settings, but can't figure out what the
problem is?
Your thoughts, thanks.
