Making an XP based computer apply policy template to only certain users

"System-wide policies in ADM templates are just that...system wide. Assuming the settings they're configuring are true ""policies"" and not just ""preferences"", all that happens is registry values get written to various places within HKLM\Software\Policies. And while you might think you could just move those registry settings to HKCU for the user in question, it probably won't work since the system components that are reading those registry keys won't actually know to look there.

Unfortunately, I think you're out of luck."
