.NET invalid character in path

I run WINXP and I have a problem with Visual Studio.NET 2003

I go
FILE > NEW > PROJECT > VISUAL BASIC PROJECTS > ASP.NET WEB APPLICATION
and I get the following error when I press OK.

Cannot create the offline cache in 'C:\Documents and
Settings\Yo!\VSWebCache\COMPUTER01\WebAp
plication1'. Invalid character in
web name "/C:/Documents and
Settings/Yo!/VSWebCache/COMPUTER01/WebApplication1":(0x21).

Is the invalid character the exclamation mark (!) in my profile folder? If
yes, how could I change that, because Windows don't let me rename this
folder.

Hi Apostolis,

I found the following information with reference to your problem description:

CAUSE: There was a permissions problem and an invalid character in the path of
the web application. This caused ASP.NET to fail to write the dll's to the
temporary asp.net files folder.

RESOLTN: Give ASPNET account read access to the root folder and propagate that
down. Must also remove the invalid character from the path. In this case, it
was a "#".

Best Regards
Nick
