    When it stopped working for me, I simply re-ran the reg file, and the bookmarks pane was gone again...

    I agree that Abobe should add an easy option to enable or disable this, but you can easily fix it by importing the attached registry file. (Unfortunately, this site didn't accept upluad og a .REG file. What you can do is: a) Open Notepad b) Copy the text below and paste into the Notepad c) Save the text in a file and make the file extension .REG (e.g., "No_bookmarks_for_me.reg") d) In the File Explorer, find the file you just saved, double-click it and confirm that you want to allow the file to make changes to your computer. Providing you run Adobe Acrobat Professional version 11; here is the text you need to copy (after the dash, including the empty row):

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Acrobat.Document.11\shell\Open\command]
    @="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Adobe\\Acrobat 11.0\\Acrobat\\Acrobat.exe\" /A \"navpanes=0\" \"%1\""

    Hi! I found a couple of registry hacks that fixed this for me. Here they are:
    1:
    I named this file "RegEdit for AcrobatPro11-NoBookmarksAtOpen - 1, Original, before edit.reg", but of course the filename can be anything with a .reg extension. (Create 2 text files containing the text below and save it as .reg files. Then double click these to make Windows update the registry and viola!
    -------------
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Acrobat.Document.11\shell\Open\command]
    @="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Adobe\\Acrobat 11.0\\Acrobat\\Acrobat.exe\" \"%1\""
    --------------------------------------------------
    2: I named this file "!RegEdit for AcrobatPro11-NoBookmarksAtOpen - 2, NavPanes=0.reg"
    ---------
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Acrobat.Document.11\shell\Open\command]
    @="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Adobe\\Acrobat 11.0\\Acrobat\\Acrobat.exe\" /A \"navpanes=0\" \"%1\""
    ------------------

    Hope this helps you :-)
