It's creating a public/private key pair which is used to automatically 
distinguish your own projects from anybody else's. And when loading a 
project that is not your own it turns on the sandbox (restricting 
various activities, such as access to files etc.) as a safeguarding measure.

No. Ampersands in file names are fine.

It would be useful if you could let us know what the error says so  that 
we can try to fix it.
