How do I exclude one user from the group policy regarding ..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy (More info?)

You can set an ACL on a Group Policy object just like any other file, folder
or Active Directory object. In order for a GPO to apply to a user, they
need to have "Read" and "Apply Group Policy" permissions to the GPO. By
default, these permissions are assigned to the Authenticated Users group.
You can prevent a GPO from applying to a small subset of users by -denying-
those two permissions. In your case I'd create a security group called
"Multimedia" or something, and then specifically deny the Read & Apply Group
Policy permissions on the GPO. Try this link for instructions and more
information.
