Hide tools Pane at right

I use Acrobat Pro DC. There is no option to "Remember current state of Tools Pane." I would kindly ask developers to have mercy on the thousands of us who previously used full sized monitors and are now working from home in the pandemic with tiny laptops. Please create a way to hide the tools pane, or the tools "pain" as I now refer to it.

Thank you

This isn't working! I've followed the directions multiple times, and while it works in the reader itself, it does not work when accessing the reader from IE explorer. I open documents at work daily using a program that runs in IE explorer. Usually, settings from the Reader do translate to the reader extension used when reader opens in IE explorer, but THIS ISN'T ONE OF THEM, and its causing me no end of pain. We never use anything in the tool pane. EVER. I don't need anything in it, I don't need to see it, and since I am using this to audit documents at my company, Im never going to subscribe. I can't edit the registry, and this "remember current state of toolbar" isn't working either.  Please fix it! Im about to throw my computer against a wall trying to do my work everyday.  This is reminiscent of what happened a few years ago. I USED to be able to override Zoom in the IE reader to open at 75% all the time. an Update happened, and I havent been able to do that for YEARS. I REALLY am starting to hate you Adobe. Every few years, you just make my life that much more intolerable.

GET THE POINT YET???

There are TWO key design issues in Adobe Reader DC highlighted in this thread (and many others). Only ONE has been dealt with by Adobe (a couple of years ago). The second is described well by wms48300982 elsewhere in this thread... that the Tools pane minimises to a full height button that sits right next to the scroll bar (and worse still, to the right of the scroll bar next to the edge of the screen). There is a VERY GOOD REASON why GUI designers don't do this sort of thing in almost all of the countless GUI styles that have been created over the years.

Quite frankly I'm staggered that Adobe hasn't fixed this design flaw in the 3 years since introducing it. Clearly users aren't happy with the current design (based on the volume of discussion about it). I'm only reexamining this issue now as I just bought a brand new laptop (2018 model) with Adobe Reader XI preinstalled and was wondering why (and whether to update to DC). I think I may have just discovered at least part of the reason, and likely won't be updating it. So even major laptop manufacturers aren't using DC!
