Batch File for Windows - Using spaces in filename.

Need help, I am trying to batch rename a group of files in a Windows folder.
the original files are standard filenames eg. 00000001.tif, they need to be
renamed to include spaces in the new filename eg. bob smith 1234.tif
The standard Batch file of : ' rename C:\Data\00000001.tif bob smith
1234.tif  ' does not work.
Can anyone help?
Regards

Just put double quotes around the new name:
rename C:\Data\00000001.tif "bob smith 1234.tif"
