Same way you do quotes everywhere else:
ValueData: """C:\Program Files (x86)\MD5 FC 2.0\MD5 FC.exe"" ""%1"""
Having said that, you should never be hard-coding the path to Program
Files. Use {app}, or use {reg:...} or {code:...} to look up the path of
a different application, or at the very least use {pf}.

Thanks Gavin,
this works perfect!!
And I followed your additional hint(never hard-coding the path)
The running result is now:
ValueData: """{app}\MD5 FC.exe"" ""%1"""
