Internet Options, Security Settings in IE Explorer

[Chuck]

Is there a site that explains in detail *exactly* what all the the
settings in Internet Explorer Internet Options Security settings and
Advanced Options are for? Over the years, I have modified those
settings from one to another on a piecemeal basis as per instructions
from various groups and sites to tighten up the browser for security
reasons (without ever really know exactly what they all "mean");
yesterday, in an unsuccessful attempt to get Windows Update to show a
missing critical update for my system, I changed all those settings
back to the default insecure settings. Since I don't really understand
what all the MS jargon means for each setting, I'm not sure *exactly*
what *all* my settings should be for the best security (except for
disabling Active X, etc.).and for the most functionality with
scripting disabled. If this is off-topic for this newsgroup, a reply
posting the name of a more appropriate NG would be appreciated.
Thanks.
