Use of parent folder variable is incorrectly interpreting the ampersand sign

If a parent folder is named with an ampersand, such as "A&B" (without the quotes), then the Group NAME$ variable (such as $COMPUTER_NAME$) is used in the name of a connection in that folder, the resulting variable entry is named "A&ampB".

It looks like the "&" in a group name is being converted to the HTML character reference for an ampersand, which is "&amp".

It would look like this in the Navigation Pane:

Example 1:

A&B <--parent folder

A&ampB <--connection named "COMPUTER_NAME$" (without the quotes)

Example 2:

Dun&Bradstreet <--parent folder

Dun&ampBradstreet <--connection named "COMPUTER_NAME$" (without the quotes)
