Remove Paste with Permissions option

Is there a way to remove the 'Paste with Permissions' related context menus?  I do not plan on using this feature and only recently updated to 6.1.3

    First, the cautionary snippet :)

    Paste with permissions is a handy feature if you need to restore, folders and files with lots of specific permissions attached to them. For instance, a folder with financial information that specifically allows full access to John, Martha and Betty, Read only permissions to Bart, Tom and Fanny, traverse permissions only to... and so on. Restoring such folders and files is a nightmare without the nifty "paste with permissions" feature.   

    Now, if you really are required to take it out, the best option is to disable it and re-enable it on an as needed basis. I will not show you the hard way of doing it as it is not an elegant operation. The easy way includes 5 steps:

    1. Download a free third party application (Nirsoft Shellex View for 64 bit) from here

    2. Unblock, unzip and run shexview.exe

    3. Once the program comes up, select 'Options' (1) and 'Hide All Microsoft Extensions' (2)

    4. Identify the 'CopyFileManager' Class, highlight it, right-click it and hit 'Disable Selected Items' from the context menu.

    5. Open the Task Manager, hit the 'More Details' (1) link button at the bottom if present (it will morph into 'Fewer Details'), identify the 'Windows Explorer' (2) task, right-click it and select 'Restart' (3) from the context menu.

     

    The Paste with Permissions Context entry is gone!

    Do the reverse to re-enable it!

    Hope that this helps.
