I am wondering why I am showing Windows Hotfix (SP2) in my Add/Remove Programs, when I have Windows XP Home Edition with SP1 installed........my kids have used my computer lately, and I am wondering if I should even have these SP2 hotfix files on my computer.......isn't SP2 for windows 2000 or something they are labeled Windows XP Hotfix (SP 2) and then Q numbernumbernumber, etc.? Where the other hotfixes I know I have downloaded for my system are Windows XP Hotfix - KB numbernumbernumber, etc....Sorry, am new to windows xp, and trying to learn as much as I can and don't want to remove these files unless they do not belong on my computer......there are a LOT of them on here for some reason and going through each of them on the site is becoming confusing more than helpful! I am reading and learning as much as I can on XP home and the service packs, etc......any answers to this would be MUCH appreciated by me. Thank You!
 
Debbie;
They are normal so leave them alone.
The reference to SP2 indicates they will be included in Service Pack 2
later this year.
