Logoff terminal server after closing "Alternate Shell" program

Here's my problem. I've got a RDP file that is set (using the alternate shell:s😛ATH/Program.exe command) to load Program.exe when the user logs in. It doesn't load explorer at all. My question is how to get the user to log off automatically when the user closes Program.exe.

Right now, when Program.exe is closed, it just sits there with an active connection on the server, but no programs actively running.

Edit: Smilies told to go away.
 
is this using windows server 2003? I believe you can set connections to automatically log off after a set amount of idle time. ( I think its been a while).
 
Yes, they're connecting to server 2003. I'd rather not have to set them to log off after an idle amount of time if I had to. I'm pretty sure that RDP 5 auto logged off after the alternate shell was ended and I'm hoping that RDP 6 hadn't removed that feature, but I can't find any information on it.
