   Thank you, but I was aware of that. :-)   To be honest, I'm thinking a bit   
   further and am using that "&" as a placeholder for other special-meaning   
   characters.

   Nope, but thanks for the suggestion.  Alas, I just tried to put it at   
   several different locations but still got the same result.

   :-)  As someone who was lucky enough to have been provided with a   
   functioning brain I can observe and deduce.

   :-p  Yeah, that was one of my own thoughts too.  Although that could work   
   for my own drives, all bets are off when I would dare to use it on someone   
   elses USB stick or similar.
