Unfortunately, I installed SP2 before reading the caveats...After huge

just
recently realized they go back to my install of SP2. I read where one
user
was directed to use system restore to go back to before the
installation.
How is this accomplished and what files, mail, etc. will it eliminate
with
it? Also, I don't remember the date of my install, so was the SP2 auto
update sent out to every user at the same date, and what was that date?
If
not how can I find the date to go back?
i would always doubt if you will be able to successfully de-grade your
system from service pack 2 to service pack 1 once again.

i would recommend a simple solution.
1. clear all your temporary downloaded files manually first
2. go for an windows xp sp2 update once again.
3. let it finish properly
4. reboot your system

post your reply here once again.

I do not think, if you can successfully migrate to sp1 again after
installing sp2
