In that context you should probably be using ?:\ instead.

Hmm, I don't think this ever worked, but it will in the next beta.

I took at random, version 22.20.0200 (04-Sep-2021). The <xydrive> variable works. This is just an FYI...

"SystemInformer|?:\KLASS\Documents\Programs\SystemInformer\amd64\SystemInformer.exe" open """hstart64.exe"" /nowindow /runas ""<xydrive>\KLASS\Documents\Programs\SystemInformer\amd64\SystemInformer.exe""";
The icon is visible and the program starts.

The icon is visible, but the program does NOT start.
Perhaps a usage should be added ?:\ in the program startup line...
