FYI, spaces in PATH are OK for bash (tested with bash-2.05-8):

    dario AT mypc ~
    $ ls /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Accessories/WORDPAD.EXE
    /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Accessories/WORDPAD.EXE

    dario AT mypc ~
    $ echo $PATH
    /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/COMMAND

e    dario AT mypc ~
    $ wordpad
    BASH: wordpad: command not found

    dario AT mypc ~
    $ PATH=/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Accessories:$PATH

    dario AT mypc ~
    $ echo $PATH
    /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Accessories:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/cygdrive/c/W
    INDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/COMMAND

    dario AT mypc ~
    $ wordpad

    <Wordpad is launched, pressed Alt+F4 to exit>

    dario AT mypc ~
    $
