I'm going to go with "nothing."

The override check box indicates that it's a setting in the PC-specific
configuration rather than inherited from the main configuration.

You can probably make things easier on yourself by just making one list of
both exclusions, since the only risk is that a user created something on
XP that happens to be the exact same thing you want to exclude on Windows
7, or vice versa.
