%$DOWNLOADS% will be much better than %USERPROFILE%\Downloads
because somebody could change the standard place by the win settings
to save more free space on the system drive.
I hope it is easy to realize TC takeing the win registry value like the standard command line
REG query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "{374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B}"
Otherwise the idea can be realized by runing TC in a batch file
Code: Select all
FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%A in ('REG query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "{374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B}"') do SET TCdownloads=%%B
START /D"Path to TC" TOTALCMD%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE:~3,2%.EXE /S %1 %2
