"& character" and MenuStrip

Hi..

Why is it impossible to add a "&" character to item in VS2005 menustrip?

In properties, it preserves itself as "&", but in menu, shows up as some
small line instead of &.

Can you help?

Because & has since a long time back been used to set the keyboard
shortcut key for buttons and menu items. You can get a & character by
writing && instead.
