G'Day

In a similar vain, is there an easy way to log off users from a remote box
without closing the browser? For example if "Worker A" visits "Example
Extranet", logs into the "Example Extranet" box (using NT) but wants to
log-out and continue browsing the internet without closing browser. We have
developed a sloppy work around, but I was curious if there is a simple
process to log-out users via a web connection without closing the browser.

Thanks,

AG
