I am trying to specify a wscript command as a context menu item. I am having trouble using an environment variable in the command. 
 
What I have: 
 
wscript.exe &quot;%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Scripts\Script.vbs&quot; &quot;%1&quot; 
 
Produces this error from wscript: 
 
&quot;Can not find the script file &quot;C:\Users\User Name\Documents\Scripts\USERPROFILE\Documents\Scripts\Script.vbs&quot; 
 
WTF? This substitution makes no sense. 
 
If I run the same command in DOS (with the %1 already substituted,) it works just peachy. 
 
Any ideas?

Specifying wscript Command as a Context Menu Command with Environment Variable

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.

Windows 7

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.

Microsoft DOS

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.
