Hi, I tried it the same way but it did not work for me for some reason. Could you/anyone help me with this? For references, I am using a windows 11 laptop.

I followed a different set of instructions that didn't have me create the Explorer folder and didn't work, but this worked on the first try! Thanks!

You just made my day. It is unfortunate I have to spend so much time removing or disabling windows "features" that no one likes or wants... like this one.

Just wanted to say that this worked for Windows 10 as well. Thank you very much.

Thank you VERY much every day brings about something else Windows surprised us with, and they make it a mystery. This was a special task but well worth the follow along to fix what they fixed in their favor not mine. Thanks again! just for thinking about us others.
