Exclude "Downloads" folder from roaming profiles, Windows 2008 R2

What:

Windows Server 2008 R2

Problem:

Downloads folder is being synchronized for every user in the company

Solution:

Open up Group Policy Management and add new policy:
User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Temlates > System > User Profiles > Exclude directories in roaming profile
It's a good idea to exclude few more common folders, so set "Prevent the following directories from roaming with the profile:" to
Downloads;Dropbox;Pictures;Videos
