Fails to Open Folders Containing Colons (:) in Names #2896

When trying to open a folder containing a colon (:) in its name, Cursor (VS Code) fails to open it. This issue occurs when working with AWS-related directory names, which often use colons, such as:

something:xxxx:xxx

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a directory with a name that includes colons:
`mkdir "something:xxxx:xxx"``
2. Attempt to reference that folder/file in the cursor chat.

Expected Behavior:
• Cursor should either:
• Open the folder correctly (and run its things)

Actual Behavior:
• Cursor fails to open the folder, throwing an error like:
Could not find file 'somedirectory/something:xxxx:xxx'
