Lots of luck. Photo Galley as the default viewer by design is build
into the OS and can't be deleted. Attempts to try to remove or disable
it will only make Windows more unstable than it already is. Ditto for
other Microsoft crap like Windows Explorer, Media Player, Movie Maker.

The best you can do is install and set up something else as the
default viewer.

I think it is **** funny that Microsoft won't let anyone easily
replace, delete or disable it's crap when they know **** well many of
the core elements in Windows suck.
