Domain controller desktop stuck on 'applying user settings'

We had a GPO that redirected folders.  I had a few users that I did not want to get this GPO.  Due this I disallowed apply access for those users for the existing policy and added the GPO below.  This GPO as I understand is needed to disable the folder redirect policy and/or the settings it already enforced.  The problem is.. When I log into the domain controller the desktop gets stuck on the 'Applying User Settings' dialog and I see 'The winlogon notification subscriber <GPClient> is taking long time to handle the notification event (Logon).' in the event log.  I tried to other users and they where stuck instantly trying to login. They only got the 'Welcome' screen.  I assume this was due to the win login process being hung.  I sent a remote command to the server of 'shutdown -r -f' for it would at least reboot..  I got a BSOD..  It ended up booting up and getting stuck on a black screen (only accessbile via VMWAre console).  I waited 30 mins and nothing happened. I tried to refresh the screen and no luck.  I then forced reboot it and the recover wizard came up.  I then powered it off..  Once powering back up it booted just fine.  I'm able to access all domain services, however, I'm scared to log back in.  I've read that some people say to delete the profile that is getting the 'Applying User Settings' and try again.. At this point I'm scared.  I don't see any settings below that would cause this..  Any ideas?
