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 :eek:, 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.:mad:

So, I want to teach them all a lesson:twisted:

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 :mad: as if doing it after every few minutes boost windows speed to 10x times.
