The [ShellExecute] function signature is

HINSTANCE ShellExecute(
   _In_opt_  HWND hwnd,
   _In_opt_  LPCTSTR lpOperation,
   _In_      LPCTSTR lpFile,
   _In_opt_  LPCTSTR lpParameters,
   _In_opt_  LPCTSTR lpDirectory,
   _In_      INT nShowCmd
);

"lpFile [in]

    Type: LPCTSTR
    A pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the file or
    object on
    which to execute the specified verb. To specify a Shell namespace
    object,
    pass the fully qualified parse name. Note that not all verbs are
    supported on all objects.
    For example, not all document types support the "print" verb.
    If a relative path is used for the lpDirectory parameter do not use
    a relative path for lpFile."


There is no a word about URI here. Could you try the suggested approach 
with escaped paths?
In case of URI we are switching from the "file" entity to "object" 
entity. But initially we got a file!

If you prefer to use URI as file-object identifier, please use MS spec 
for URI:

=================
The idea:
file:/ (Java) -> file:/// (MS) for any case of full path.
=================

file:/c:/file.txt -> file:///c:/file.txt
file://localhost/file.txt -> file://///localhost/file.txt
