Question How to remove "Refresh" from desktop right click menu?


As the title says, I want to remove the "Refresh" option from the desktop right click menu. I remember some thread which described editing the right click options from a system file using Resource Hacker, but I can't find it.

My friends think that "Refresh" refreshes the whole system and frees up the resources when the system is busy or hanged up , but what happens is just the opposite(redraws the display, again using up resources). Even some of my professors are of the same opinion. They all click refresh atleast 10-20 times before doing anything.

So, I want to teach them all a lesson

Open "Shell32.dll" file in Resource Hacker and goto:

Code:
Menu -> 215 -> 1033
In right-side pane, delete the following line:

Code:
MENUITEM "R&efresh", 28931, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
Click on "Compile Script" button and save the file.

thats the most idiotic thing most ppl do, irritates so much as if doing it after every few minutes boost windows speed to 10x times.
