I don't really know but there's a good chance someone who does will
chime in. I use a Windows desktop at work by necessity, but I basically
install Emacs and Cygwin and then try to pretend it's a Unix :)
As far as I know, `w32-shell-execute' (the Emacs primitive used by the
code I suggested) longstanding. My impression is that it's just not as
widely known as `shell-command', `call-process', etc., because many
(most?) people writing tutorials and such are on some variety of
Unix-like system (mostly GNU/Linux or MacOS).

You're welcome - glad it helped
