Thanks very very much RobustSolution, I have applied your logic. Its ok though I didn't use the "famous" remember me here checkbox. I have studied the issue and finally discovered that it is a fault of the BUGGY INTERNET EXPLORER that keeps CACHING the page instead of visiting the SERVER for proper details (Stupid Explorer!!!). Please can you help me out on how to prevent caching of the LOGOUT page by such browsers?
