'the program'? What fucking 'program'? Apache? Something else? What? You

Try enclosing the filename in double quotes and use forward slashes.

ServerRoot "C:/Mike Cox/is a/fucktard"

Alias /fucktard "C:/Mike Cox/is a/fucktard"

for exfuckingample.

Read the Windows version of httpd.conf, for exfuckingample.

"C:/Mike Cox/is a/fucktard"
"C:/Mike Cox/is a/fucktard/who knows fuck all"

If 'the program' still fails to recognise spaces, use the DOS short path.
See DIR /X, for exfuckingample.

You have spent too much time in cola. Linux makes you fucking stupid.
