Does anyone know where I can find an explanation of what all the different
settings in Internet Options > Security > Custom Level mean? I've already
looked in Windows Help and on the Microsoft website but I haven't had much
luck.

All I want to do is switch off some of the annoying messages like 'Do you
want to run this software?' when I click on a program I've just downloaded,
but I don't know which options do what.
