Using %SystemRoot% in path variables

Is there a way to use wildcards such as %SystemRoot% in a path that I pass to
a string variable for consumption in a method parameter?

Example:

string wmipath = @"%SystemRoot%\System32\WBEM\Repository"

Thanks in advance.

One way to expand such variable is the
Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables method.

Hope that helps,
Thi
