Bug Description
Binary package hint: kde-guidance
Adding an exception for an executable with and ampersand in its path (and filename) results in errors writing to the registry (user.reg), which is either cutting the file name after the ampersand or dropping the ampersand and the following character.
From looking at the python source code, I'm not sure if this problem is due to wineconfig or the wine registry itself, as the error messages seem to stem (partly) from regedit. If this bug is really a regedit thing, please feel free to forward this to the wine people :)
Distribution is Kubuntu 8.04.

Kubuntu 8.04 has reached the end of its supported life, and unfortunately the Guidance user configuration tool and the Guidance Power Manager were the only Guidance apps to survive. The rest were removed from distribution and will not be receiving any more bugfixes. Thanks for understanding, and have a nice day.
