Thank you!
Windows has folder names that include space,
Example:"Program Files"
Will that cause trouble for your solution?
       

If the command after the -exec is a "real" program and not a shell
script or something else that interprets it's arguments, it should not
cause trouble.
     

It will cause problems for any program.
   

Why? Have you actually tried it?
 

I have been caught many times. I mostly remember to use '-print0' these days. 
Sometimes I get it right and use 'xargs -0' first time too,
