on windows, can't opn a directory with an ampersand

[TanninOne]

The following line escapes ampersands on windows.
https://github.com/sindresorhus/opn/blob/b9f7e569f5a3d5d520047df3e9f10a42d52fd9d4/index.js#L36

This breaks opening local files and directories where the path contains ampersands.

I have the same problem.

This also breaks requesting urls with querystrings. The ampersand is the delimeter between querystring parameter.

Can anyone provide reproduction steps? I tried both directories and urls and they all worked fine.

@sindresorhus Checked them, but only was able to reproduce it if path contains space. But this issue says it works with all directories with &.

@TanninOne Can you show us your full file path?

@nogueiraantonio @dogeared Can you show us your full file path or url?
Just like those file paths.
