Sidebar in the Finder

How the sidebar will go away in the finder?

I always hide it and whenever I open the Finder, it appears again?

Hide toolbar hides sidebar Is this supposed to happen? I realized I almost never use the Finder window toolbar, so I thought I'd hide it. When I did the sidebar disappeared. I have to have the sidebar, but don't need the toolbar. Are the two supposed to linked together? Thanks very much.

Sidebar & toolbar not accessible Hey everyone on Finder app I do not have the possible to show the sidebar neither the toolbar ( apparently they are linked if I understood correctly what I read... but not sure to get the reason why they are linked), they are both greyed out. Couple of days ago I was able to show or to hide them. I surely did something wrong but what.... Thx for the help Nicolas

White "sidebar" in Finder As of recently a white "sidebar" has popped up when I open my Finder. I've tried everything to somehow get rid of it but nothing has worked. I'm able to "close" it but when I reopen my Finder it's there again. Help?

Oh yes! It worked!

View> Hide preview (it was preview that was bothering me not sidebar, Sorry!)

I was actually sliding it manually myself every time so it kept reappearing.

But it solved the problem, Thanks a lot!

Are you using View menu > Hide Sidebar to hide it (rather than sliding it closed)? If I hide it via the View menu, it doesn't reappear.
