Default sp2 Internet zone setting

my IE sp2 internet setting is set to Medium. i would like to know if the
following setting is right?

Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls
Disable

Binary and script behaviors
Enable

Download signed ActiveX control
Prompt

Initialize and Script ActiveX controls
Disable

Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins
Enable

Script ActiveX controls maked safe

a following to choose from:

Administrator approved

approved do if i happen to select it? is Administrator approved and disabled

Administrator approved is a setting that would only allow specific =
ActiveX controls/plug-ins to run, regardless of the user's preferences. =
This would be handy in a corporate environment, where there may be =
internal intranet pages that need controls enabled, but the =
Administrator doesn't want ActiveX to run from any external web sites. =
Disabled would prevent them from running completely, including Windows =
Updates and other sites.
