Cannot Log off after running 'Initial Program' for Remote Desktop.

[Dan]

We want to give a user access to a server via Remote Desktop and only give
them access to a single program. This works perfectly fine, howerver when
the user (or us as Administrators) close the program, the program closes but
their is no way to exist out of the session unless you disconnect. By no way
I mean the screen is just blue, looks like explorer.exe didnt start or
something.

This seems to be common behaviour across many of our servers. Why is this
and can we have it so when the program closes we can just go to the remote
desktop sessions desktop?

This should help:

User sessions don't logoff when users quit their starting or
published application
