Right-click My Computer. On the General tab, under System, does it mention that Service Pack 2 is installed? If not, I'm not sure what you've done but you have NOT installed SP2.

The Windows updates listed under Add\Remove Programs which mention "SP2" are actually pre-SP2 releases. Some security updates just couldn't wait, so Microsoft took some components of SP2 & released them early.
Service Pack 2 itself shows up under Add\Remove programs as a single entry: "Windows XP Service Pack 2"
As for the features of SP2, the Web is filled with info about it. Try Microsoft.com

With WinXP SP2 installed, open Internet Explorer and click Tools -> Manage Add-Ons.
