So, I found that this line:

exe 'silent !start rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler
'.shellescape(fname,1)

is not working for some reason.

I added:

call input("start rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler
".shellescape(fname,1));

and it prints out for a sample file:

start rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler 'G:/CRW/Membership/missing.csv'

which looks fine to me.

I tried the former:

exe 'silent !start rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler "'.escape(fname,
'%#').'"'

and that works fine. The only difference I can see it the text for the two
commands is that the old escape ends up with a double quoted filename, while
shellescape generates single quotes.
