Sure. You can download the QFECheck tool from MS (Google it) which scans the registry and will list the installed hotfixes. I've seen other similar tools which do similar things, also probably a Google search away.

Otherwise, you should be able to see them in Add/Remove Programs. Assuming you're using XP SP2, open Add/Remove Programs and check the "Show Updates" checkbox at the top of the window. If you scroll down, you'll see a list of them.

An awsome tool is Windows Update List (along with other great utils) over at www.nirsoft.net. WUL tells you what updates you have installed, what files are associated with each hotfix and the versions of all of the files, and lets you save reports as txt, html, and xml. This is a great util and is alway in my toolbox.

It also supports command line parameters which is great for automation and its FREE!!
