If you see a user session running on your Windows 7 computer, you can use the "logoff" command to disconnect it:

  /SERVER:servername  Specifies the Remote Desktop Session Host server (default

                   joe_tester                2  Disc
 rdp-tcp#1         jay_writer                3  Active
>rdp-tcp#0         fyicenter                 5  Active  rdpwd

 console                                     1  Conn
                   joe_tester                2  Disc
                   jay_writer                3  Disc
