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.
