Well, here's five methods that work in MingW32:

$ ls 'a b' c
ls: a b: No such file or directory
ls: c: No such file or directory

$ ls "a b" c
ls: a b: No such file or directory
ls: c: No such file or directory

$ ls a\ b c
ls: a b: No such file or directory
ls: c: No such file or directory

$ echo \"a b\" c | xargs ls
ls: a b: No such file or directory
ls: c: No such file or directory

$ echo \'a b\' c | xargs ls
ls: a b: No such file or directory
ls: c: No such file or directory
