How to Remove Gallery Page from File Explorer on Windows 11

Windows 11 introduces a new "Gallery" page in File Explorer as part of the 23H2 release. This feature offers an image preview experience similar to the Photos app, displaying images with larger thumbnails, hiding file names, and using chronological sorting. While it can be convenient for many users, some may find it unnecessary if they prefer using the Photos app or browsing images directly in folders. If you belong to the latter group, you can remove the Gallery page using the Windows Registry.
