Fully Control works great for time limits.  *In theory that is.*  When Full
Control is operating properly and not freezing up your computer every five
minutes it posts a warning message before the program closes.  You write
the message it will say and set the time limit you want it to pop up.  Mine
warn the user to save their work because the program will be closing in 15
minutes.  Fifteen minutes later the programs shuts itself off.  You can
send the user more time before the program closes through an administrator
manager program that comes with FC.  Also, you can just restart the program
after a few minutes to let users stay on longer.
