Currently to toggle the treeview on the left-hand side of Windows Explorer we can use: Organize - Layout - Navigation Pane as below screenshot.

I do this very very often and want to toggle quickly by a hotkey. Please share if you know how to. alt text

Here is an AutoHotKey script. ⊞ Win + A toggles the navigation pane.

This thread might be useful:
Keyboard shortcut to hide/show Explorer navigation

According to the thread, there are no hotkeys to hide/show the navigation pane, but you can use ALT-T, O to get most of the way there. Another poster suggests using a utility such as AutoHotkey to create a script that you can assign to a custom hotkey.
