Instead of quoting the file name, gpg on windows understands forward
slashes as directory separators and will "Do the Right Thing(TM)"

gpg --output C:/DATA/CD.icf  --passphrase my_pass --decrypt C:/DATA/CD.txt

Example:

F:\>gpg --verify F:/MyDown~1/curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.19.0.zip.asc
gpg: Signature made 09/01/08 09:50:07 using DSA key ID 279D5C91
gpg: requesting key 279D5C91 from hkp server 192.168.0.4
gpg: key 279D5C91: public key "Daniel Stenberg (Haxx) <daniel at haxx.se>"
imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1
gpg: please do a --check-trustdb
gpg: Good signature from "Daniel Stenberg (Haxx) <daniel at haxx.se>"
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the
owner.
Primary key fingerprint: 914C 533D F9B2 ADA2 204F  586D 78E1 1C6B 279D 5C91


If any of the names contain spaces you'll need to use either quotes
around the entire name or short names, eg DOCUME~1 for
'Documents and Settings' (DIR/X will give the short names).
