Hide "All tools" pane?

[James30818644amb9]

Same problem as everyone else under the sun: I cannot figure out how to permanently hide the "All Tools" menu on Acrobat Pro 2023.003.20215.

Preferences > Documents > Open Settings > Remember Current State ... is just missing for me (and apparently for others, too.) And, depressingly, the registry keys bRHPSticky and bExpandRHPinViewer don't seem to affect Acrobat Pro.

Having to close and re-close the "All Tools" menu every single time I open a new PDF, all day every day, is exhausting and I hate it. Does anyone know a fix for this (aside from switching away from Adobe)?

James, in saying that what Bibhu proposed didn't work, did you happen to see my post before that (from Jul 10), where I offered something for those who might say that change "doesn't work"? I'll point to my comment rather than repeat the key points here, but it would be helpful if you might confirm whether that, too, still does not get things working for you.  It did, for me.

I appreciate your post and suggestion; however, my posted "fix" worked for
my version and I have had no problems since. When I replied to the recent
suggestion it was meant that I had previously tried it and it did not work
at that time. Apologies for any confusion.

Menu -> Preferences -> Documents; check "Remember last state of the All tools pane when opening documents" seems to do the trick in v. 2024.002.

To make it work the All tools pane has to be hidden --"collapsed" -- before the PDF can be the most recent for purposes of the setting (i.e., to learn what should be done when opening. So how do you hide the pane to begin with?
