One option for making Windows less annoying is Deep Freeze
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.faronics.com/html/deepfreeze.asp">http://www.faronics.com/html/deepfreeze.asp</a>), which lets you simply
reboot and have everything back in proper working order.<br>

your requirements it might be a better idea to stick with Windows and
really lock down your installation. I've been directly involved in two
Linux migrations for Internet Cafes (and advised on several others) -
one successful (net cafe) and the other unsuccessful (gaming cafe) -
and in both cases it was more trouble than it was worth. The problem
isn't the software it is the users; When they go to use the software
they notice, for example, that they aren't using IE and when they come
up to some page that doesn't display perfectly problems occur. There
are many more examples that just make the mind hurt. So unless this
Cycber Cafe Pro provides _everything_ you really need to be asking
yourself if you really want to open this can of worms. <br>

<br>
I'm running an internet cafe using Cyber Cafe Pro software. This
software is design soley for Windows platforms. We're constantly
experiencing problems with Windows with regards to viruses and
stability issues. Recently, we lost all our data and had to re-install.
<br>
<br>
May you please help us in flawlessly porting this application so that
it can run on Linux both on the server and client sides. If this
happens, it could mean an end to our nightmare with Windows!<br>
<br>
We have already tried Open Kiosk (which natively runs on Linux) prior
to making my request. Open Kiosk is free but is not advanced enough to
meet our requirements. For example, it can't allow us to control and
charge for excessive bandwidth. We've done extensive research on what
is available and so far Cyber Cafe Pro seems to meet all our
requirements with the exception of running only on Windows. Hodoman
works on Linux but isn't as advanced as Cyber Cafe Pro is.
<br>
<br>
This is the reason why we are interested in trying to get Cyber Cafe
Pro to work on Linux. Cyber Cafe Pro people aren't interested in
assisting us with regards to porting their application to Windows.<br>
<br>
