Diable Explorer Button or Purge History List

A user logs into a web site. He is then redirected to a web page of his choosing - based on menu options - for example: "WeeklyReport.aspx" is a page the user is currently viewing

If the user session times out, I redirect the user to a "logoff.aspx" web page that now informs the user he must relogin to the web site

Question: Is there anyway to clear the browser's history list (prior to Response.Redirect("logoff.aspx") - to ensure the user can't depress the "back" button to return to the page where the timeout occurred

If this is not possible - what if after I detect the session timeout - Is it then possible to close the current browser where the timeout occurred - and open a new browser with "logoff.aspx" information - How would I do this

I hope not. I'd *hate* to lose my history to a malicious, virus-like web
site.

My $0.02.

No Virus Web Site - but I want to prevent unauthorized access if someone leaves area

Basically - need to ensure user must relogin to web site - once timeout occured. Is there anyway to disable the back button then - until the user relogs in a web site / & then I can reenable it?
