Disable Control X cut action in windows 10

I wanted to Disable the cut action by control & X key in windows 10 so that users wont use that shortcut to cut any files.

I cannot restrict the folder using the Folder permission as the system is loaded with an application which requires full control to the folder. We don't want users to cut the files inside the folder. Please suggest a way forward.

I used AutoHotkey and with its scipt I have successfully disabled ctrl X. AutoHotKey is so powerful , you could configure it to disable/enable the key combinations specific to Apps and Folders as well. it have inbuilt script converter also to convert the script as an EXE file.

Thanks everyone for all your responses.

Check this similar case for a hint:
“For disabling any physical key on the keyboard is a registry entry too.
It's in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
You create a key with the name Scancode Map. It can redirect any key to another key or disable it.”

can you provide me a solution to disable this key combination actions.

Sorry, Ctrl +X key combination belongs to Windows built-in design feature, Windows is a close system, we can't change its original design. What we can do is just redirect the key comb but not remove it, please understand.
