Re: Warning! Do NOT apply XP SP 3!
Would creating a restore point before installing SP3 work, in case you needed to undo it? I haven't been running XP long enough to try to use restore points.

Re: Warning! Do NOT apply XP SP 3!
I've never had an issue in the past when I've used a restore point. But in the case of removing service packs, you don't need to use this feature because they are treated as installed programs and like I mentioned, can be removed through the add/remove programs control panel item.

Actually, a restore point is always good to have as if the uninstall becomes borked, you still have a fall-back

Is that a new feature for WinXP SP3? Because my install of SP2 doesn't show up anywhere on Add/Remove Programs. (In fact, the System Properties tab is the only proof I can find that I'm running SP2.)
