Windows XP using IE 8



While in the midst of having internet access problems, under internet

options > advanced, I clicked on Reset Internet Explorer settings.



My first question relates to all of the updates I have installed previously

using Windows Update. Were those prior installed updates affected at all by

what I did? I went to Windows Update, and it didn't identify any updates to

be installed.



Second, what exactly does the Reset settings feature do; I'm guessing it

just restores everything to the default options as when it was originally

installed?



Now that I'm back to normal in accessing the internet, is there anything I

need to be sure to do, having used the Reset settings feature?



Thanks in advance.
