I have auto updates enabled, and the list of updates downloaded from MS is
long and has a green checkmark next to most (the updates that have a mark
showing the download failed are then shown a few days later as having
succeeded wiith a green checkmark). XP SP2 has a green checkmark, but the
explanations, in their usual circular manner, don't indicate whether the
download AND the installation happen automatically, or only the download.
How can I tell if SP2 is installed? Thanks.

Right click My Computer and choose Properties. If it has SP2 it will say
so.

'Windows Explorer' -- sorry, don't know how to find that either, but the
other two responders showed me the place to see that I indeed have only SP1
installed. But thank you for responding.

Windows Explorer is where you see the directory structure
and files stored on your computer's disk(s).
