Reset Internet Explorer Settings

[Pierre Chemins]

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.
