It seems to me that the cookies for the site you visit are not being deleted when you close the browser session down. Do you close the browser down, or do you leave it running when you have finished your session?
This is not a "Windows XP won't let me log off" problem. This is a problem for the computer's administrator and your first point of call should be that person.

I use a PC at my County Library for accessing a well known "family history site"
I log ON....I log OFF.....OK!
Days later, using the same PC I find, on calling up that web site....I am logged ON !!
I delete Cookies, Recent and Temp Internet files after use. But still find that I'm logged ON next time around.......what am I missing ?? any help please.
