Cause
When an account logs into MessageStats Reports a user folder is created under the path 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\MessageStatsReports\Reports\_users' in the format DOMAIN%5Username. If the account has a non alphanumeric character in the account name, the character in the folder name is changed to the HTML encoded representation of that character.
For example, if the account name is ~messageStats and the domain is Domain, the folder will be created as DOMAIN%5%7EmessageStats. The Tilde (~) is replaced with %7E.
