You can use following value:

Registry variables

$(HKLM\KeyPath)

   Where KeyPath is a path to the registry key. For example:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir

   The registry key value under HKEY_CURRENT_USER branch.

$(HKCR\KeyPath)

The user's personal ("My Documents") folder on their system.
Usually this is something like "C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\My Documents" on Windows 2000/XP, and "C:\My Documents" on Windows 98/ME.
Windows 95 did not have a My Documents folder, so this variable will return "C:" on a Windows 95 system.
