Our User Services Group had the same complaint.

The 'solution' was to write a little program to provide a logout dialog
which we could then put a shortcut for on the desktop (and add a hot key
sequence for in the Properties dialog).

You can find 'Logout95' at http://www.rdg.ac.uk/~suq96rcf/tools/

Run it with '/?' for help on the various options.

The are plans for the dialog box to be replaced by a nicer, custom one
(instead of the standard Windows MessageBox(), one).

Of course, another way would be to install IE4's new desktop... that will
give you a 'Logout' option (along with several Mb of other rubbish, too!).
