One option for making Windows less annoying is Deep Freeze
(http://www.faronics.com/html/deepfreeze.asp), which lets you simply
reboot and have everything back in proper working order.

I'm going to get eaten alive for this though depending on 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.

Hi,
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.
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!
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.
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.
