Description:
Hi there,

I cannot save the connections (file-> save current connections; file->manage connections) to my MySQL servers. So I always have to enter the information (user, password, host) everytime I start MySQL Administrator.

How to repeat:
Create an windows user with an umlaut in the name.

Suggested fix:
Maybe MySQL Administrator cannot access folders with german umlauts. I guess the connections are saved in 
C:\Documents and Settings\Andreas Böhme\Application Data\MySQL (?)

I do not have the problem on another pc (Win XP Pro) where I login as another user (with no umlaut).

Also I cannot backup to a folder with an umlaut (An error occured while executing the backup The output file c:\...ö... \file.sql cannot be opened), but it works fine with other folders (c:\temp, e.g).

The first time I enter "health" I get an error that some files cannot be found. Afterwards I cannot view the graphs but status and system variables.

I have verified that it works by creating a user named Ödipus on my system. :)
