Help! I have been useing MC for about 7 years, and I have just now hit some hot key where all the left pane navigation and tag items have disappeared. I think I hit some hot key combination. Now I cannot figure out how to turn them back on. Pane with Audio, Viod, TV etc. and the tags.
What did I do - how to turn them back on? I have tried every menu combination I can find, searched on the web also. Something simple I hope?

Click on small triangles at left.

Thank you - took me a little while to see which little triangle you were referring to :)
Is there actually a hot key or menu option for this as I don't think I clicked on anything to make it disappear - anyone?

I looked in the MC keyboard shortcuts list and I don't see anything related to hiding the navigation pane. It might be hiding in there somewhere, but I was unable to find it.
I also went through many of MC's menus looking for the function and could not locate it there. My guess is that you accidentally landed your mouse *right* on the triangle as you were pushing a mouse button. But that's a guess.
Glad you got your nav tree back.
Brian.

Try this...
MCC command 22029 toggles the tree.
Sooo...
In the MC installation folder, there's a "Data" folder. Create a folder inside that called "Custom Resources".
Inside that folder, you want to place a file called Resource.xml
Mine is a simple three thing affair, and is in the attached zip file. It contains the code below...
<MJRS version="1.0">
<ACCELERATORS>
<!-- Global shortcut that begins a Play Doctor session -->
<Entry Key="Ctrl;Alt;R" Command="10047" Global="1" />
<!-- Go to folder containing selected file -->
<Entry Key="Ctrl;Alt;D" Command="26004" Param="-2" />
<!-- Toggles the tree pane open and closed -->
<Entry Key="Ctrl;T" Command="22029" Param="-1" TranslateFlags="23" />
</ACCELERATORS>
</MJRS>
So, close MC, create the folder, extract the xml file into it, and restart MC. Now...
Ctrl+Alt+R will kick off a 'Play Doctor' playlist. This is a 'global' hotkey combo, so will work, as long as MC is running, regardless of which application is currently in focus.
Ctrl+Alt+D will open your default file explorer at the location of the currently selected file, and select that file.
Ctrl+T will toggle the tree open and closed.
If you don't want the other two, simply open the the xml file in a text editor and remove their entries.
Enjoy for the weekend :)

Thanks All, and thanks Marko
I gave that a shot the Resources.xml and initially did not work as my installation uses Ctrl+T for zone toggle which I have - but I changed it Alt+Ctrl+T and it worked fine. I have not got into expressions as yet - so a nice spin off learning about these.
Cheers

FYI… You can also add an icon to accomplish this: right-click in the top toolbar, choose Customize Toolbar from the menu and select Toggle Tree from the list of available icons.
