To deactivate the shortcut option permanently, can you, please, suggest a method how it's done?...
I appear to have somehow achieved this in the past for Windows 10 including a couple of other Windows apps, but it was a long time ago and cannot recall how I did it.

After a web-search I found this answer:

Step 1.
Right-Click on the Desktop and Choose Personalize.

Step 2.
On the Personalize Menu choose Themes on the left-hand sidebar.

Step 3.
On the right-hand pane click on Desktop Icon Settings under Related Settings (might need to scroll down the right-hand side pane to find it.)

Step 4.
Remove a tick in the checkbox for either or both Computer, and or User’s Files, Control Panel and or Network. Depending on which you wish to hide from Desktop.

Step 5.
Click on Apply and then Ok.

You can obviously reverse this by re-checking whichever checkbox you wish to return to Desktop.

I am at heart a Mac OS user. So if this does not fix your issue then someone else would be more appropriate.
