Shortcut to logout...

Is there a way to have a shortcut on the desktop that will log you out on Win2000? I got lazy users that want to just click on an icon to logout. Don't matter if it's a script, batch file, or a small program as long as it works. Thanks in advance.

Google "logoff.exe" ;)
 
I guess this one of those cases where I did not look at the obvious. I feel so "not worthy" to be posting here. :( ( I will keep posting though... :p

Thanks
 
Ok, I found the logout.exe for Win2000. But it will only logout from a terminal service session, it won't do it on a regular workstation. On WinXP it does log you out, not in Win2000. Can anybody help with this?
