You can use Add/Remove Programs via Control Panel.

Do think about it carefully though, it does improve security - which is
a good thing.

Check the web sites for your DVD burning s/w (e.g. Nero had a problem
with SP2 and have issued a patch) and perhaps the DVD manufacturer -
although this is less likely to be an issue.

Hi,

Control Panel/Add & Remove, check the box at top to show windows updates,
then uninstall SP2.

Or, run the spuninst.exe file located under
C:\Windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$\spuninst.

I don't have that check box in my Add/Remove option.

Hi,

Was the system preinstalled with XP & SP2? If so, there will be no removal
option.
