[Feature]: Disable File Explorer tab preloading in Windows 11 24H2

[Silver347]

Problem statement

File Explorer tabs in general are slow and sluggish,this script should slightly ease that problem by disabling the next preloaded tab,releasing some cpu and memory.

This script was suggested by Chris Titus Tech in one of his videos titled "Windows Explorer Performance Woes".

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

Proposed solution

The script:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\input]
"IsInputAppPreloadEnabled"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Dsh]
"IsPrelaunchEnabled"=dword:00000000

Can we relate those to any privacy improvement? privacy.sexy's scope is privacy only, while getting performance is one of the biggest benefits of it.

While I agree this isn't a privacy improvement,I still remember how many people were complaining about general performance from using File Explorer in both 23H2 and 24H2,while things like ExplorerPatcher does have an option to replace or disable tabs in general I still wanted to include this as an option for those who still want to keep the feature but want to slightly polish it for better and more performant experience.This doesn't remove or disable anything It only serves to further improve File Explorer experience.
