Nope, Enhanced Security Configuration is not listed...
Additional findings:
1./ IE => Options => Advanced doesn't show any new related flags...
2./ I just went through the new .ADM files delivered with SP2,
and although there are a few new items that relate to IE and security, I
couldn't
find any options to manage these unsafe file types, or to enable/disable
this
warning dialog entirely...
weep.

Sounds like they've added the extra IE security stuff into this Win XP
service pack to bring it up to the same standard as Windows 2003.
By default, a Windows 2003 Server build adds the "Internet Explorer Enhanced
Security Configuration" component, which is described here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;815141
You probably just need to relax some of these settings.
I wouldn't say that it breaks anything, it's just a pain in the you know
what...
From Windows 2003, you can actually uninstall it from Add/Remove Programs,
Windows Components. Does this service pack give you a similar option?
Cheers,
Jeremy.

Hi Frederic,
I noticed this too. Since Ron and I are brand-new MVPs, I decided to post
this to one of the private MVP newsgroups. We'll see if it's possible to get
this changed.
I'll also write an article about it on my site. For better or worse, that
tends to get things noticed by Citrix and MS :)
Hopefully they'll change this, cause I agree that I don't want the "default"
install of SP2 to break WI.

Subject: [THIN] WinXP SP2 (BETA) breaks NFuse?
Hello all,
Today I got SP2 for WinXP pre-release via TechNet subscription. Tried it on
a few test-machines, and apparently
it seems to break the launching of .ICA-files via NFuse/WI by registering
the .ICA download as an "unsafe" download.
As a result:
1./ IE presents the well-known dialog "Some files may harm your computer bla
bla. Do you want to [Open], [Save], [Cancel]".
2./ Clicking Open does not trigger the ICA client,not even after
re-registering via "wfica32.exe /setup" (So breaks NFuse!!!)
3./ Saving & launching the file manually works, but that's an unacceptable
workaround.
This got me spooked that in a few weeks/months upon general release of SP2,
this will
create havoc in our company, with PC's being pathed all the time...
I know it's a bit early, but anyone else noticed this behaviour already?
