You can try norton ghost ........and burn the mirror image of the OS which is running in a good condition with all the softwares installed.

And on every system install a good antivirus like norton internet security 2007

I will suggest that you buy a strong AV software such as McAfee or Norton AV. For example, with McAfee Virusscan Console, you can implement rules to prevent access to files such as MP3, RM, WMV, AVI, MOV, etc.

You should have no problems in creating limited accounts. Just create a limited account called 'cafeuser_<pc#>' on each PC that is a limited user. Change the login mode to classic mode (that requires CTRL+ALT+DEL and manual entry of username/password). Keep the 'administrator' password to yourself.

For site restrictions, you can also use software such as NetNanny or Cybersafe. But be prudent; too much banning will mean that customer will stop visiting your cybercafe. If possible, can you start billing based on bandwidth used by your customer? There may be softwares that allow bandwidth measurement.

You can also implement system security policies (called as group policies) that will prevent access to OS core and kernel (don't ask me how; I am not an expert at these things).
