Windows 7 limit logged on time

In Windows 7, I know that you can set the time 'Frame' in which a user can log in. Like from 7am - 10 pm however, I want to know if there is a way to kick the user off after say, 2 hours from the point where they logged in?

Windows Steady State does not 'yet' work with Win7, if it ever will.

You can always create a batch file and then run it as a scheduled task.  You could schedule it for 10 pm every day. This would forcefully shut down the computer and the parental controls would then keep them from logging back in.  Here is a command to shut down the computer with a warning message.
%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 30 -c "The System will Shutdown in 30 seconds. Save your work now!"
