I have a question concerning the stupid Back button on a browser.

We have a site where a user sees one home page if they are logged in and 
another if they are not. On the logged-in home page, the user has the option 
to "Change User." They are then sent to a login page for the new user. On 
this page, a cookie and a few client variables which personalize the user's 
experience are deleted. My problem is this: How can I make it so that if the 
user hits the Back button after coming to the Change User page, they are 
automatically sent to the regular home page for users who are not logged in? 
I have tried the <cfheader name="Expires" value="#Now()#"> method on both 
the home page and the change user page (just as a test), and while it works 
the first time (the user is properly redirected upon hitting the back 
button), if I log in again, go to change the user, and then hit the Back 
button, the logged-in page appears. However, if I simply hit the Refresh 
button or click on any link on the logged-in page, the regular home page for 
non-logged in users correctly appears. This obviously must be a caching 
issue, but the cfheader method doesn't seem to be working.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave.
