Windows Exclusions for User Folders

Question

Hi, 
 I've been looking for a solid answer on how to do this and everything I'm finding seems like it isn't possible. I have a vendor application that has a requirement to exclude the following path: 
 "C:\Users\<Windows USER_ID> \AppData\Roaming\Nuance\" 
 Since building this exclusion for every single user we have is just out of the question. Is there away to setup an exclusion variable for that path that will work? 
 
 Thanks, 
 NICK
