this is what i am trying...

$Path =ReadValue ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" "AppData")

copy "\\mm_cluster\mltwdata\mltw common\microsoft user\wd global\MLTWwd2k3.dot" "$Path\microsoft\word\startup\" /c /r

I want $PATH to be the registry value of the AppData key.
Am I improperly using the $Path string in the path?
help..
