'What setting hides the side panel whenever VS Code opens?

VS Code has a Side Panel that includes Problems, Output, Debug Console, and Terminal.

What, if any, setting will always hide the Side Panel when we open VS Code?

I appreciate that we can toggle it via

  • mouse View | Appearance | Show Side Panel
  • keyboard alt + V + A + D.

How, though, can we tell VS Code always to hide the Side Panel when VS Code opens?

View > Appearance > Show Side Panel in VS Code
