Well there's computer policy settings (probably HKLM stuff) and user
policy stuff (normally HKCU stuff).

Now for the moment, forget about loopback processing.

Machine / computer section policies apply when the machine comes up, and
it's account within AD, authenticates.

User policies apply when the user logs in, and are for user settings.

The setting you are talking about - from memory - is a computer setting.

Now whilst loopback processing, allows user based policies to be
dependent on the computer (or the computer's AD location - depending on
how you view it...), I'm not sure the reverse applies.

Reading between the lines, that's how I perceive you want to play this -
actually have a machine based setting be dependent on the current user -
and I'm far from convinced that's valid, or will work.

However, I could be wrong - and there may be a user setting that
restricts / allows more than one session - but historically I always
thought it was a machine / connection thing.
