When I add the @sessionname feature through the New->Shortcut method or by manually editing a clean putty shortcut, the @sessionname seems to disappear from view, however it still works for me (chooses the correct session). I've tried testing this with a clean putty shortcut, which brings me directly to the Putty configuration screen.
