I use spaces in file names all the time.

[[File names in Windows XP can be up to 255 characters and can contain
spaces, multiple periods, and special characters that are not allowed in
MS-DOS file names.]]
File Names in Windows XP Professional

I also have NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation turned on, so I get both long and
short names.

Add or Remove Manually Uninstall Programs.txt is also ADDORR~3.TXT
