How do I keep this from happening
The project bin goes away once you click on a tool, but at the bottom you can bring the project bin back by clicking on the icon.
Is there a preference setting somewhere?
There was a video which was linked on an UHH post a few days ago, showing how to set up PSE11 (sorry I don't have the reference). It said that this hiding of the project bin is automatic, so it appears it always happens to save screen space and allow a larger area for the tool preferences.
