This should work
:nnoremap <silent> <F12> :silent !start rundll32
url.dll,FileProtocolHandler <cWORD><CR>
It's safer to use expand() and to escape potentially problematic
chars in the URL string.
:nnoremap <silent> <F12> :exe 'silent !start rundll32
url.dll,FileProtocolHandler '.escape(expand('<cWORD>'),'%#')<CR>
