From the FAQ on http://ts.veranoest.net :
Q. My session doesn't logoff when I quit my starting application
A. If you define a Starting application, either in Terminal
Services Configuration, a GPO or in your RDP client, your session
should be automatically logged off when you quit the application.
Sometimes, this doesn't happen and you are left with a session
which only shows the desktop background, without the possibility to
log off the session manually. The cause for this problem is a
process which is still running in your session, preventing it from
closing and logging off.
To solve the problem, open a second connection to the Terminal
Server and check in Task manager which process is keeping the
session from closing. Some anti-virus applications are known to
cause this behaviour.
If you can't avoid running the process, you can use a work-around
to log off your session.
Create a batch file, containing something like this:
cd <path_to_the_folder_containing_your_application>
start /wait <your_applications_executable>
logoff
Now define this batch file as the starting application.
