Hi,
Yes, a popular positioning is to bar that with your ring finger.
You can also position your fingers like this-
e- x x
b- 5 (4th finger)
g- 5 (3rd finger)
d- 5 (2nd finger)
a- 3 (1st finger)
e-x x

I would probably play it like this:
X- If you're barring it right the flesh of your ring finger should mute it...
5- Ring finger barre
5- Ring finger barre
5- Ring finger barre
3- Index finger
X- Thumb (just touch the string with it to mute the string)
I play a lot of John Mayer-like stuff and if there's one thing that I've learned from playing his stuff is that the thumb can be a handy little weapon on that top E string when you're doing barre chords and such. Not a lot of people that are use to "shred" style guitar... where the thumb is gently rested on the back of the neck... can get use to wrapping the thumb... but it's a blues players best friend when doing chords up and down the neck.

i sometimes do it this way

5 (4th "pinky")
5 (4th "pinky")
5 (3rd "ring")
3 (1st "pointer")

it seems easier to get a clean sound, and the pinky can mute the high E string better. i use the first finger touching the low E to mute it, and for faster switch to G barre chord.
self-taught so probably everything i do is wrong

Yep - barre with index and ring. It's not impossible on an acoustic... but it'll take a while to build enough strength in your hand for it to sound good.... :D
you can also get away with playing both E strings barred in the same place for a second inversion major chord.... at least technically, although it might make it sound different from a recoding if you're playing someone else's tune...
