Group Policy

I have been playing with Group Policies and I have noticed
that there are hundreds of options to tweak.

Is there a link to a website somewhere that explains all
of the terminology for each setting and which to use in a
typical networked environment - where the clients are
given limited rights to their machine - i.e. they can only
use their machines and applications, but cannot open the
CD-ROM drive, open Control Panel, change the Desktop, or
plug in USB pen drives or Add/Remove Programs??

Thanks.,
