Take a look at PureText. I don't think there is a specific "OS-level setting" for disabling rich text in the clipboard, but the goal of PureText is to do exactly that.
It also gives you the flexibility of setting custom hotkeys for converting text to plain text format. By changing the hotkey to Ctrl-v, you can paste and convert the text in one shot.
Compatible with Windows 95 and up. PureText is freeware.

- Select all (Ctrl-A) from Notepad
- Paste (Ctrl-V) into destination

Use auto hot key, put a hook on clipboadrd change, get clipboard contents to a var, clear the clipboard and then set it back to clipboard. so the RTF will be lost.
Downside - looks like wont be able to copy files too. but can switch off script when you need to do that
