No, the Group Policy Editor is for editing Policies that exist on the machine (turn this on, turn this off). Making a change in the Group Policy Editor applies the changes to the Registry, so that they affect the machine, user from that point on. However, in a non-domain environment, the Group Policy Editor applies all changes to all users. There is no provision for applying them to specific users/groups.
See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, Windows XP Security Console for a utility that will allow you to apply a large number of Per-user restrictions on a Per-user basis.
