Burp will not run if a directory within the path ends with an "!"

Burp will not run if a directory within the path ends with an "!". Burp was here: c:\!tools!\burp\burpsuite_pro_v1.6.38.jar. Moved the "burp" dir to the root directory and it runs fine. Tested by renaming the "burp" dir to "burp!" and burp crashes/will not run. Have not tried any other chars, just "!".

Thanks for this report. It is possible that this is a Java issue, since Burp shouldn't care what directory it runs in. We'll try to reproduce the problem and see if there is any workaround we can apply.
