key shortcut for maximizing and restoring chart pane via View :
PaneToggle

Please note that this function creates only ONE directory at a time.

call it multiple times, for example to create
C:\MyDirectory\MySubDirectory folder you have to call it twice:

Please note that this function removes only ONE directory at a time.
