[issue44735] Failed venv Activation With "&" In Folder Name

[adore_blvnk]

New submission from adore_blvnk :

This is relating to activation of venvs. This was first discovered in VS Code, 
but can be replicated in Windows CMD & PyCharm too. 

Normally, creating a virtual environment via
py -m venv venv 
would create the venv.

Next would be the activation of the venv, example: 
"c:/Users/normal/venv/Scripts/activate.bat"

This activates the venv, & using a pip command would install the respective 
packages in the "site-packages" folder in the venv.

HOWEVER, creating a NEW folder "c:/Users/is & allowed", creating the venv, & 
attempting to activate it as follows:
"c:/Users/is & allowed/venv/Scripts/activate.bat"

Will throw an error:
The system cannot find the path specified.

Do note that in the 2nd attempt, the presence of character "&" will throw the 
error.
