This is probably the biggest productivity-killing "feature" in Windows 7 - many a time I've accidentally selected Undo instead of Paste from the context menu, only to have it fail partway through either because some file in the folder was locked or a subfolder was deleted/renamed, and then had to drop whatever I was doing and spend the next 10-15 minutes manually figuring out where the other half of the files flew off to (Undo never expires - I've had it Undo moves/copies that I made an entire day ago that I'd pretty much forgotten aboutThis is especially painful if the files either came from or went into AppData, Program Files, or some other convoluted non-userdata area), and then moving them back and checking that everything is intact.
Is there any way to just completely kill this pointless feature?

Use ctrl+V instead of an onscreen button?

Umm..
Undo/redo a "completely useless feature"? Not sure what makes you think these functions are useless...but to answer your question, No. Like copy, cut, & paste, undo/redo is hard coded into the Windows framework.
Disabling Undo/Redo in Windows Explorer?
