The "Actions" pane is one of the new panes of new Admin Console in ConfigMgr. However it takes up valuable screen estate and once you get to grips with the product you might find you no longer use it. It is possible to load the Admin Console without the "Actions" pane by adding a new Registry Value:

1. Close the Admin Console if it's already open.

2. Load Regedit.

3. Navigate to:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MMC\SnapIns\FX:{6de537a5-7a1c-4fa4-ac3a-1b6fc1036560}

4. From the "Edit" menu select "New | DWORD Value".

5. Replace "New Value #1" (the default name for the value), with "SuppressActionsPane" as the "Name" for the value.

6. Double click the newly created "SuppressActionsPane" value and enter "1" as the value (leave the "Base" as "Hexadecimal").

7. Load the ConfigMgr Admin Console which should now load WITHOUT the "Actions" pane as shown below.
   
   
   
   IMPORTANT: If this doesn't work make sure that you are creating the new value in the right place i.e. under the "FX:{6de537a5-7a1c-4fa4-ac3a-1b6fc1036560}" key (which is for the Admin Console and has an "AssemblyName" Data value of "AdminUI.Console"), and NOT the "FX:{a77b774c-ce32-4ab0-982a-6bb3c078e5c1}" key (which is for Resource Explorer and has an "AssemblyName" Data value of "AdminUI.ResourceExplorerConsole").

8. Once you've added the "SuppressActionsPane" value, you can toggle whether the "Actions" pane is displayed by toggling the Registry value between "1" (off) and "0" (on) as the examples below show.
   
   With the "SuppressActionsPane" value set to "1" the "Actions" pane isn't displayed.
   
   
   
   With the "SuppressActionsPane" value set to "0" the "Actions" pane is displayed.
