Windows 10: Removing 'Cut' and 'Create shortcut' from context menus

Does anybody know how, if it's eve possible, to remove 'Cut' and 'Create shortcut' from the context menu for files and folders?!

TIA!

:)

The 'create shortcut' is actually under a sub-menu called "New" (new > shortcut). If that's missing, this tool will help you put it back: http://www.sevenforums.com/attachme...menu-items-shortcut_new_context_menu_item.zip

 

windows 10 desktop icon context menus

(Windows 10 with Anniversary Update, patched up to date.) Following installation of Anniversary Update I have 2 context menu issues. When I right-click a desktop shortcut the context menu appears but Open, Run As Administrator, and Pin to Start don't work
- e.g., the app won't launch and it won't pin to the Start Menu (but it will pin to Taskbar). On the other hand, Cut, Copy, Delete, and Properties do work. It doesn't matter which shortcut I try, and this all worked before the upgrade. Also the Win-X menu
pops open, but none of those choices work either except the 4 bottom ones - Desktop, Shutdown, Run, and Search. Again, if the choice is to run a program, there may be a momentary spinner, but nothing starts up. The shortcuts only launch if I double-click,
and the context menus seem to work from inside the Start list (including creating a tile and pinning to the Start Menu from there.

I've tried different Google searches, but none of the hits quite describe my issues. One of the postings that came close suggested running a utility called ShellExView. I disabled all 7 suspect non-MS context menus it identified, but that made no difference.
So, can anybody help?

 

Hey AntonAnton-
I was curious, so I did some checking. It does look like it's possible, although perhaps a bit involved. See HERE. (I only briefed the thread, so I'm not even certain your question was fully answered)

 

I don't know why I didn't think to check sevenforum. Thanks so much for the heads up. You're awesome.

 

I've tried to remove cut/copy/paste/rename (changed 4 shell32.dll.mui files in

• System32_en-GB
• SysWOW64-en-GB
• WinSxS\amd64...
• WinSxS\x86...

There were two 385 Byte (vs 389 Kb for the other 4 files) in the WinSxS folder which Resource Hacker wouldn't open, but they're too tiny to hold any menu information.
I've the following Menu items: 210, 216 and even 394 (where I found another instance of cut/copy), but to no avail.
I've run mcbuilder after making these changes and replacing the files, but after reboot I still have those items in the context menu in Explorer *Sad

Update: also removed Create Shortcut from the menus just in case, no luck
Any ideas on what else I can do to finally get rid of those functions cluttering my context menu? Thank you
