This paper provides detailed information about the technologies included in Windows XP Service Pack 2 that help to make Web browsing safer. These technologies are designed to help to provide improved security when compared to previous versions of Internet Explorer. In Windows XP Service Pack 2, the prompts that are used for file downloads, mail attachments, shell process execution, and program installation have been modified to be both more consistent and clearer than they were in Service Pack 1 for Windows XP. In addition, Windows XP displays the publisher of an executable file to the user when executable files are selected in either Internet Explorer or Outlook Express.
