I don't like or use Gallery in windows explorer and would like to remove it. I'm not very familiar with the registry and am a little intimidated by it. Could someone help me? Thank you

    You can disable Gallery.

    Open Command Prompt as Administrator and copy-paste the following command:

    reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace_41040327{e88865ea-0e1c-4e20-9aa6-edcd0212c87c}

    Reboot.
