Group Policy for single user

I have a single user in a 2003 domain that I need to severely restrict his access.  I do not want ANY other users affected (or is that effected).  Can I create and apply a group policy too a single user?

I like the idea of creating a new OU called LockDown and moving the user account into the new OU; it makes things a little more clear IMHO.

I was hoping not to do that, but creating the OU worked great!  Now I have the user restricted from making changes to his workstation and limited his ability to search the network.
What would be nice is an ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram) for Group Policy that shows which settings in Computer and User are the same.
