The only other way I'm aware of is to order the SP2 CD (free), and then just install what you want from it.
You can order the CD here:

And in terms of SP2's supposed "security enhancements", you might want to have a read of this:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/0...ecurity_review/

I read it and appreciated it, what i didn't understand were the risks. I went through an disabled the services as suggested in the article and didn't use the computer for a couple of days. When i came bazck to it, norton internet security went bananas, announcing internal program errors, and telling me that there was a problem with my liscence and god knows what all. then i dicovered that that computer woudn't even access the internet on dsl. by the time that i got it working again, I had re enabled all of the services that the article had suggested should be disabled.
I'm not sure what the solution is, I guess just trust the firewall and hope for the best.
just a word of caution.

That link didn't work for me, but perhaps it's just as well. If that article caused you so much trouble, why would you want others to read it?

You can find more information about SP2 and the steps necessary for a successful upgrade here:

Optimize XP - A Windows XP Optimization Guide

The security enhancements in SP2 are well worth the upgrade, just make sure you system is Virus and Spyware free before installing. This has been the biggest reason for upgrade failures. Steps 1 and 2 of the Guide will help you clean your system of them.

If you have SP2 installed and wish to use the net send command, have a look at this before using it:
