I used to play games for free at the local internet café. Not sure how the system locks work today, but back then there was some special software preventing you from using the computer unless you had paid for access. I read somewhere that there was a keyboard combination, I think it was Win + U, which brought up an accessibility screen. From there you could click on a "Read more" link and it would open up a browser and bypass the lock!
I'm guessing that internet cafe used Smartlaunch, and let me tell you, that was far from the only bypass you could run to get around its frontend, haha.
