sudden green with dog (F3)

I'm looking at a folder in Windows Explorer, as I like it to appear, i.
e. list of files in the right pane, folder tree in the left pane.

I accidentally hit F3 (probably renaming something and I meant to hit
F2). The left pane goes green with a dog at the bottom.

Any quick way to revert? My usual quick ways - Escape, or Ctrl-Z - don't
work; the only way I've found is Alt-V, then Explorer Bar, then Folders,
which is very tedious when It was caused by one keypress.

[Caveat: This is in Windows Classic view. Not sure if it's the same with the "Toys
'R us" XP theme.]

Thanks - that solved it!

I too use the grown-ups view - but I had customised to leave only Up,
Delete, and Undo buttons, not thinking I'd ever use any of the others.
Now I see a reason for adding a fourth! Thanks again.
