Error when trying to create new app

hi when I create a new application I keep getting the following error message. "the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. (exception from hresult: 0x8007007B)" I googled it and found somebody to have had the same problem but with C#. Apparently it does not like the "&" in folders of log in names. I have XP SP2 and my login name has a "&" is there a way around it other than creating another user and then loging in as that user to create a new application. I manage to open created projects just not able to create projects.

any help much appreciated

I have tried this and have set all three to c:\work but still no good. I think it is my actual log in name as i have it as "somebody & somebody else"

Hi,

Have you tried moving you default work folder to different location, like c:\work for instance.

I think that you can do it in the VS options in the "Project&Solutions"->"General".
