Disable "CUT" in excel + vb

This will disable the user from using ctrl + X (i.e. cut) option in excel.


Sub ctrlX()
MsgBox "You are not allowed to Cut a cell. You can use copy instead."
End Sub


Sub disableCut()
'Disable Cut button
Application.CommandBars("Standard").Controls.Item("Cut").Enabled = False

Application.CommandBars("Edit").Controls.Item("Cut").Enabled = False
Application.OnKey "^x", "ctrlX"
Application.CellDragAndDrop = False

End Sub

I tried this in excel & it works.

How can I revert back to original settings?

Pls share the detailed steps.

I am not a VBA expert. I dont have file in which I saved above script.

But this script works every time I press Ctrl+X.
