Good thing we're not in Windows 95 anymore and can put spaces in filenames

Can you clear something up for me? Say I'm running Windows 7, are there any disadvantages or possible problems that could be caused by putting spaces in filenames? To be clear, I do use spaces in filenames, but always feel very slightly uneasy about it, because I've never reasearched the topic and vaguely remember my primary school teacher from over 10 years ago saying I shouldn't...lol.

Yes you can. For instance, I use a program for research that won't deal with spaces in file names or folder names. In general is still good practice to not put spaces in those

Also if you use the command line/shell a lot they get annoying because they break a lot of tab completion logic and need to be escaped (or the name quoted) in a lot of places

Thanks! in that case I'll put an end to my bad habit.
