Idea:
Please add configurable options in the Windows 11 Revision or File Explorer settings to show or hide the Home and Gallery entries in the left navigation pane.
Background / Problem:
Currently, users who prefer a minimal File Explorer layout (for LTSC, enterprise, or streamlined deployments) must modify the registry to remove Home and Gallery. This is unsupported and can be reverted by updates.
Proposed Solution:
Add simple toggles within the Revision Tool or File Explorer Options such as:
☑ Show “Home” in Navigation Pane
☑ Show “Gallery” in Navigation Pane
As part of the Revision Tool → usability/miscellaneous section.
Benefits:

Cleaner UI for power users and corporate environments.
Reduces the need for unsupported registry edits.
Aligns with LTSC and enterprise customization policies.
Makes File Explorer more modular and user-friendly.
