how to access alias::* from anywhere.

To illustrate my question i'll just give the scenario i'm facing right
now.

I'm using uTorrent and would like to enter as default download path
something in the lines of "%downloads%\P2P\" or "shell::downloads\P2P'".

Obviously none of these is the correct one and my question is, what is
the correct way to use the shell folders from applications, command
prompt and autohotkey scripts.

Thanks!

After moving the user shell folders to other drives/partitions, I made
junction points in their place, pointing to the new locations. The way I
always use the default locations, even though the actual locations are on
other drives, or even other computers (Vista's symbolic links can now point
to network locations).
