Have you ever visit a cyber cafe and found yourself too restricted by the hourly rates for using the internet? Most often these prices are inflated especially in places where cyber cafes’ are the main source for high speed internet surfing.
Here is a tutorial that will teach you how to Disable The Timer On The Computers in the Internet Cafe’s.
Step 1
Create A New Text Document, type CMD in it & then save it as a batch file (some-name.bat). When you run this file, the command prompt window will open on the computer.
Step 2
Next type cd\windows in the command prompt window to change the directory to Windows. Now type in regedit to get to the registry editor gui.
Step 3
Once in regedit, get to the following area:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Appevents>software>classes> microsoft>windows>current version>internet settings>policies>system
once there, on the right side pane where it says Disable Taskmanager, right click on it, and select Modify. Change the value to “0″
Step 4
Now open Windows Task Manager By Holding Down: “CTRL+ALT+DEL”. In the processes list, look for any program names that looked like the program that controls the cafe timer. Many cyber cafes use cyberlux as the timing device but your product may vary depending on where you are located.
Enjoy unlimited surfing! Drop us a line if you found this useful or succesded in doing this in your cafe

Oy vay.
Ignore steps 1 and 2. Windows-R, then “regedit” and enter.
Then hit alt-f4, walk away from the computer, and shoot yourself.
