This command applies to all frames that exist, as well as new

frame parameters, so if you (re-)set `default-frame-alist' after
toggling the scroll bars on or off with this command, the scroll

These may be set in your init file, like this:

Note that many display-related modes (like `scroll-bar-mode' or
`menu-bar-mode') alter `default-frame-alist', so if you set this
variable directly, you may be overriding other settings
unintentionally. Instead it's often better to use
`modify-all-frames-parameters' or push new elements to the front of
this alist.
For values specific to the first Emacs frame, see `initial-frame-alist'.
For window-system specific values, see `window-system-default-frame-alist'.
For values specific to the separate minibuffer frame, see
`minibuffer-frame-alist'.
The `menu-bar-lines' element of the list controls whether new frames
have menu bars; `menu-bar-mode' works by altering this element.
