SYMPTOMS

When you create a filter in Microsoft Team Manager, if you use a single ampersand (&) in the filter name, an accelerator key (or shortcut key) is created for that filter. If you use double ampersands (&&), the first ampersand creates a shortcut key in the filter name, and the second ampersand appears as an ampersand. The expected behavior is for only the ampersand to appear.

MORE INFORMATION

A shortcut key is a set of keystrokes that you can use instead of the mouse pointer to access a menu item. To create a shortcut key, you would use one ampersand in a filter name. If, however, you wanted the ampersand to appear as an ampersand in the filter name rather than to create a shortcut key, you would use two ampersands. When you use this technique in Team Manager, however, the ampersand appears in the name of the filter and also appears as an accelerator key.
