I know there are third party filters that "duplicate" what a polarizing filter does on
the camera lens itself. Not sure if CS2 comes with it’s own.

Those filters only simulate one thing that a polarizer can do: intensify colors. They don’t remove reflections, because they can’t. They simply do not know what should be there instead of the reflection.

And no, Photoshop CS2 doesn’t come with such a filter.

Annie,

You might want to either grab another window, or maybe just a scene that you’d like to use to replace the glass with the reflections. Mask the window frame, invert this Selection, and use this as a Layer Mask for the new image. You might want to work with the Contrast, the Opacity, and even Blur this new image a bit, to make it look more realistic, and not like a painting dropped into the window.

If you have enough of the image, around the reflection, the Clone/Patch/Heal tools, as previously stated, will help you, as might reducing the Contrast of the window somewhat. Unfortunately, there is probably little, if any, image info in the reflection itself, to extract.
