Disable "PayPal Account Overview" button on confirmation of purchase

I have an application that requires the user to make a payment on PayPal before returning them to the webpage, upon returning to the webpage some thinks are activated using session variables that are set before the user is forwarded to paypal. On the confirmation screen it gives the user the choice to go to a PayPal Account Overview or return to the page they came from. If the user chooses to go to the PayPal Account Overview they are never returned to the page which deals with activating their service and I have to do it manual when I am notified of the payment...

Is there anyway to disable this button and only allow the user to return to ensure their service is activated?

Cheers

Just thought I'd answer my own question in case anyone else wants the answer, I contacted PayPal and...

When a customer makes a payment through PayPal they are automatically asked whether they would like to return to the merchants website or go directly to PayPal.

As this is a setting within PayPal we cannot force the customers to return to your website.

You can, however update your payment solutions to website payments pro which will allow you to customise your payment pages and direct your customers straight back to your website as customers are unaware PayPal is processing.
