That Windows API is terrible. There isn't a way to have the escaping done for you. Further, there is not an API where you do not need to do the escaping. There is no documentation on what kind of escaping is needed.
It's not a Rust problem.
The Windows API is the direct access to OS functions. If you're using the API it's your responsibility to do it securely and protect your users.
