Problem statement

I don't like the Home function so I usually disable it

WinAero's post: https://winaero.com/remove-home-from-file-explorer/

In case if you decide to add this script to the catalog I'd suggest either:
"Configure Programs" -> "File Explorer -> "Remove Home pane from File Explorer" or
"Advanced Settings" -> "File Explorer -> "Remove Home pane from File Explorer" category.

Proposed solution

The script for Windows 11:

DISABLE FOR ALL USERS:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace{f874310e-b6b7-47dc-bc84-b9e6b38f5903}]
"HiddenByDefault"=dword:00000001

DISABLE FOR CURRENT USER
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID{f874310e-b6b7-47dc-bc84-b9e6b38f5903}]
"System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree"=dword:00000000

to undo just revert back to these original values:

ENABLE FOR ALL USERS:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace{f874310e-b6b7-47dc-bc84-b9e6b38f5903}]
"HiddenByDefault"=dword:00000000

ENABLE FOR CURRENT USER
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID{f874310e-b6b7-47dc-bc84-b9e6b38f5903}]
"System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree"=dword:00000001
