If you accidently move from a software/app to file explorer and press Ctrl+Z, you could inadvertently delete your files!

IMPORTANT: It is much easier to miss out that you've accidently pressed Ctrl+Z, if you got 2 screens!

NOTE: If you've just accidently Undo, you could easily Redo by right clicking on an empty space in File Explore & selecting Redo or Ctrl + Y!

IMPORTANT: The name of the DWORD should be exactly as "MaxUndoItems"!

MaxUndoItems = 0 by default

MaxUndoItems Value is the maximum number of undo that you want to allow File Explorer to perform! So, by setting it to 0, it disable Undo altogether. For example, if you set MaxUndoItems to 2, then you could Undo 2 actions.

Now, Ctrl + Z doesn't work anymore. Even after right clicking on an empty space in File Explorer, you won't get Undo or Redo options!

Another useless Windows feature to disable!
