Hi,

This is really a very famous issue that can be found in various issues,
which can be tackled by an innumerable number of ways:

(*) At the top of all pages where you would like your back button to get
disabled of its functionality, just plugin the code:

<Script Language="JavaScript">
   //Strictly speaking, this always tries to move the browser document one
location forward. The first time the page loads, there is nothing in the
history.forward stack and hence this is ignored. But when the browser clicks
the back button, there is something in the forward stack, which gets
activated.
   history.go(1);
</Script>

(*) Expire Pages by Http-Equiv Meta Tag.

(*) Open a custom window, with no toolbar and disable context menu.
