Hello Eric,
I have struggled with the same issues. I ended up solving the problem using
some javascript to close the browser. You can't force the user to close the
browser, so I do it like this. First the Logout button sends the user to a
"logout" aspnet page. In the page_load method I put the following code.

Session.Clear();
Label1.Text = "Choose 'Yes' to log out and close the window. Choose 'No' to
remain logged in.";
this.RegisterStartupScript("logout",
    "<SCRIPT
LANGUAGE='JAVASCRIPT'>top.close();document.location.href='Welcome.aspx';</SC
RIPT>");

If the user chooses "Yes" the wiindow closes and they are logged out. If
they choose "No" they are sent to the initial screen of the application, and
they remain logged in. I have only tested this in I.E. 6.0.

Now, I'm trying to figure out how to log a user out when they access from
Pocket I.E. "top.close()" doesn't work in Pocket I.E. Does anyone have any
suggestions?
