Not every XP has %PROGRAMFILES% with a space in the directory name:
C:\>echo %PROGRAMFILES%
C:\Programme
(this is a German XP)
But, in general, you are right. As the user cannot be sure to what a
specific environment variable will expand on each other's machines, one
should be very careful with such advices in the public.
Best regards,
