Because NT supports spaces in paths and even encourages its use by having user data (such as your desktop and other important stuff) under 'Documents and Settings'. A few programs, furthermore, don't like to be installed in other than the default location, which is usually c:\program files\... I admit, this is rare, but I have experienced it. (I think it happened with DB2, for example.) Many MS applications default to 'My documents' when you want to open/save files. All these small things try to make the user interface a little friendlier and cause many annoyances when trying to go against them.
