I found out about this problem over a year ago and it was even discussed on this list, but nobody came up with a really working fix. So my solution in both my old WindowsNT and in my current Windows2000 (and my homeXP) has been NOT to install TeXLive in Program Files. Instead I have installed TeXLive directly under the root, i.e. I have a directory C:\TeXLive and that works fine. On my old desktop at work with WindowsNT I actually had TeXLive on the second partition for the while, i.e. at D:\TeXLive and even that worked fine. It does not seem to bother TeXLive ConTeXt that the .tex files are in a path with couple of spaces (like c:\Documents and Settings\Mari\My Documents\ConTeXt\test.tex) as long as TeXLive itself is installed somewhere without spaces. I know this is a workaround, but at least as long TeXLive is installed individually (not from the network, it is an easy solution. Just change to root directory in the beginning of the installation and everything else will work out. I don't really have any other options than the workaround or having somebody come up with a real fix, because the other users of "my" computers would be majorly annoyed if I went *n*x...
