    Right click on "My Computer" (95-xp) or "Computer" (Vista and up) and then click on properties.

    Next to the operating system name you will find which service pack is installed.

    You can also go to add remove programs and check "Show Updates" and it will show what windows updates are installed, including service packs. I know the second option works in XP, but I've never tried it in others.
