How to replace all spaces by underscores in all file names of a folder?
Adapted from here:

@echo off
Setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
Set "Pattern= "
Set "Replace=_"
For %%a in (*.exe) Do (
Set "File=%%~a"
Ren "%%a" "!File:%Pattern%=%Replace%!"
)
Pause&Exit
Create a batch file (*.bat
) with the above contents. Place that batch file in the folder with all the .exe's and it will replace the spaces with underscores when you run it.
Simple as:
set filename=qwe qwe qwe asd.exe
set filename=%filename: =_%
A one liner
cmd /e:on /v:on /c "for %f in ("* *.exe") do (set "n=%~nxf" & set "n=!n: =_!" & ren "%~ff" "!n!" )"
Spawn a cmd instance, with extensions and delayed expansion enabled, and for each exe file with spaces in name, replace spaces with underscores and rename the file with the new name
