How do you disable Websense ?

Websense:- Ughhhh.. that funny little service that just wouldnt let you visit your favourite social networking sites and check your private mail.
A week back i was bugged by this little "non"sense when i realized that somehow i needed to fix this thing up (or rather down). I rate myself as a fair enough "Googler" but couldnt come up with suitable help. I conluded - 'God helps those who (atleast try to) help themselves. A little bit of system searching told me that that Websense ran as a service .
Now how do you disable that if you dont have admin rights on your system.
Simple - Go to the Websense folder in Program files and copy out all the files from there into another safe folder so that you can restore if something goes wrong (Do not panic if u get an error message that all files cannot be copied). Just press ok. Restart your machine and BINGO! No more websense. How does this work. Ah! simpler still . How would the service start if it dint find its related library files . It simply doesnt start up when you restart the machine next time.
Free bird! Felt great to find the hack. Do let me know if this worked.
Tada. See you soon wid sumthin new.
