I am not one for writing!!! so just do this and it should fix your problem.

Open Registry Editor.

Navigate to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Create the following value (DWORD):

HideRunAsVerb

and give it a value of 1

Note: As always, before making changes to your registry you should always make sure you have a valid backup. In cases where you're supposed to delete or modify keys or values from the registry it is possible to first export that key or value(s) to a .REG file before performing the changes.

Close Registry Editor and reboot the computer.

This is the solution I've been searching for. It took me over a week to find this post. Dear Techno, you f**king rock! Thanks!!!
