How to Apply Group Policy Filtering in Windows 7?

However there might be cases when administrators may not want group policies to affect some users or groups and become applicable for others at the same time. When this is the case administrators can use group policy filtering to allow group policies to take effect on the users and groups which they specify. As an administrator you can apply group policy filtering by following the steps given below:

1. Logon to the computer with administrator account and make sure that you have configured your computer to display all hidden files and folders.
2. Click on Start button.
3. At the bottom of start menu in search box type %systemroot%System32GroupPolicy and press enter key.
