Problem with Visual Studio C# Express Edition

I have installed VS C# and have been getting an error "The file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007B)".
I also installed VS web developer and had the same problem but I installed it in another account and imported the settings and it works fine now. But VS C# still has the same problem. I guess the problem was the & symbol in the name. I can't figure out how to get to the build path from the create project screen to check to see if it isn't getting changed. I have selected the "Show advanced Build Configurations" check box and it doesn't show up on the create projects screen. Does anyone have any ideas??

Thanks,

When are you getting this message? Given the second half of your comments it would appear that you are creating a new project. In this case VS will only prompt you for the directory if you told VS to always save the solution when it is created (Tools\Options->Projects and Solutions\Save new projects when created).

Given your first set of comments it appears that you imported some settings. Try resetting the settings to their defaults (Tools\Import and Export Settings->Reset Settings) and see if the problem goes away. If so then you'll need to evaluate your settings to see where things are going wrong.
