Not really possible with ASP.NET Windows Authentication using Basic
Authentication as the authentication method. (There is lots of samples out
there that does it with forms authentication )

As you stated you could have the user close all browser windows. Its not
enough to just close the browser window with you site. This is because as
long as you have an instance of IE running its Authentication store is not
flushed. This also leads to the only way I know that you can do it without
closing the browser, but it requires the use of ActiveX. See for
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=195192 for how to flush the credentials
from IE without closing any browser windows.
