Sidebar Disappeared from Finder - Option to Show Greyed Out

I must have done something to cause this but the sidebar no longer appears when I open a Finder window. Unfortunately, the option to Show Sidebar is greyed out. Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix?

It was already enabled. I did find an earlier solution of deleting a preferences file for Finder then rebooting. That seemed to do the trick.
