I've written some code that will do this for any process you specify. It
uses WMI event subscription to monitor process creation and closes any new
instances of the specified process above the specified instance limit. Works
like a charm. If you're interested, email me off list.

To ensure only 1 copy of IE is run per user on a full desktop you could try
replacing the IE Icon with one that runs the following batch file. Where H:
is the users Home drive.
********************************************************
if exist H:\Lock.lck goto end
@echo Lock > H:\Lock.lck
cd "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer"
start /wait iexplore.exe
del H:\Lock.lck
:end
