The feature is automatic.  You can't really disable/enable this feature.
It is desirable because you use less Metaframe licenses.  A license is
consumed for each session.  If session sharing is not functioning, a
user that starts 2 applications will start 2 sessions and use 2
connection licenses.  That is obviously not desirable.  

Session sharing has become much better as time has gone on and the
understanding of how it works has improved.  You will probably not get
100% of the sessions shared (load balancing is one part of the whole
thing) but it will allow you to cut down on the amount of licenses
needed.

Subject: [Maybe Spam] [THIN] MetaFrame Session Sharing

Folks,

I have a question about a MetaFrame feature which I have recently become
aware of - Session Sharing. Apparently this feature allows Published
Application B to share the session that was previously established by
Published Application A. Apparently the benefit of this feature is that
the overhead of establishing and maintaining a session does not have to
be incurred for each application launched by a user. However, there
appear to be some configuration and reliability concerns with this
feature. So, my questions are:

1. Is this feature widely used today?
2. Is this feature deemed to be highly desirable, in other words, if the
"issues" with it are addressed, it would see widespread use?

Thanks,
