Do you want to restrict in when you share a file or number of users logged in using remote session ?

Hmm I doubt you can exceed that limit. Even in Windows 2003 server we cannot increase more then 2. We need to get the Windows Terminal Server license for that. Or you can use any third part software for that.

According to Offical Windows Support
To limit the number of users who can connect to the shared folder concurrently, specify a number in the Limit the number of simultaneous users to box. Windows Vista permits up to 10 concurrent users. (If you need to share a folder with more than 10 users at once, you must use a server version of Windows.)
However you can Try this
1. Start the Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE)
2. Find the following key:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services \LanmanServer\Parameters
3. From the Edit menu, choose Add Value. Type "Users" (without quotation marks) in the Value Name field. Select REG_DWORD for the Data Type and choose OK. Enter the value of 0xFFFFFFFF in the String field and choose OK.
4. Exit the Registry Editor.
5. Either shut down and restart Windows NT, or from a command prompt type:
NET STOP SERVERAnd then type:
NET START SERVERTaken from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/Q122925
