    How to disable CTRL+Z in windows explorer?


    Sometimes you want to do CTRL+Z in an application but since it's not focused you happen to do it in windows explorer by error, undoing stuff you've done like renaming/moving directories. So I would like to disable the CTRL+Z hotkey in windows explorer (not in other applications though); I don't use it anyway.

    I've found this:
    Disable Global Hot Keys
    but it only works for combinations which uses the WinKey.

    Short of writing your own script to suppress the key combination in explorer.exe, no. Sorry.

    I found this via Google search: Disable Ctrl+Z shortcut or clear undo history in Windows Explorer? - Super User

    Looks like it uses AutoHotKey
