Use directives for excluding things:

<<"D:\zold">> skip:*.*

This directive would skip the zold directory on the D: drive. 

The biggest problem if you don't use directives is that you might miss a
new directory if it gets created.   That's why I like ALL, with an
exclusion directive.   If you simply list the directories that you want
to backup, you run the possibility of missing a "new" directory that
someone might add at a later date.   You don't always remember to update
your client definition to reflect the new directory.

I want the benefits of All, but I only need one folder from the D drive.
How and where do specify an exclusion?

"ALL" gets more than just the C and D drives.  "ALL" includes the system
state.  However, you can actually do it either way.  It's whatever way
makes you more comfortable.
