I believe that the problem relies at line 32 in the init.bat: if 
"%HOME%"=="" set HOME=%USERPROFILE%

the & char is recognized as a command, so, if we set, for example: set 
HOME=C:\Users\Marco&Glynn

we will have: 'Glynn' is not recognized as an internal or external command, 
operable program or batch file. The system can not find the path specified.

I think that we could fix it putting: set HOME="%USERPROFILE%"

but unfortunately I cannot test my solution now (too much things to do to 
create a new & user and reboot the machine, I'm afraid!)

Regards,

Marco
