Default Toggle Navigation Pane via Single Keystroke?

Not being burdened with an excess of gray matter, I find the navigation
pane slightly confusing most of the time. Too much clutter. It has
it's days, but mostly I'm happier without it.

Turning it off via Organize | Layout | Navigation pane is no problem and
I did that.

But it seems like it would a nice-to-have would be the ability to
quickly flip it on and off for those times where it's relevant.

I tried downloading the .REG files from MS's forum
http://tinyurl.com/9s5qcs5

They work but:

- They throw several dialogs to the effect of "Do you want to allow...?"
and "Are you sure you want to...?" and "Yes, we really did this..."

- The effect is not seen until a new window is opened.

I'm looking for a single keystroke (.CMD, .REG, some other sort of
command script) that will toggle the nav pane right before my eyes with
no dialogs/prompts - giving the same effect as dropping the
Organize menu.

I'm thinking some sort of keyboard scripting environment where I write a
keyboard macro and assign it to a key combination. But beyond that I'm
totally clueless.
