Ron,
 
This appears to be an old problem with WinXP...
...I've not seen anyone asserting that MS has fixed it.

Subject: [dav-dev] Problems with the '&' character in filenames accessed
from Windows Explorer or Office 2000 applications


The DAV server is running on a RedHat 7.3 system.  apache version 1.3.27 and
mod_dav version 1.0.3.
 
Files or directories with the & character are not accessible from Windows
Explorer clients.  Under Internet Explorer the file appears correctly. For
example, directory name is S&L.  under Windows Explorer client this shows up
as 'S'.
 
Is this a Windows bug?  Anyone else had to deal with the problem?  Looking
for workarounds, fixes, or any documentation pointers that may be out there.
 
Thanks
Ron
