Try this.

1. push a folder window as far to the right and down as you can
so that just the close widget is visible.

2. Ctrl-Alt-left makes the window narrower until it disappears.

3. Crl-Alt-right should make it wider again but the window never
reappears.

4. you can recover the window with Ctrl-Alt-Insert
