How do I enable %UserProfile% for scripting with Folder Redirection?

I'm experimenting with Folder Redirection and after getting it set up, I quickly realized that any VBS scripts that have environmental variables such as %UserProfile% become unusable.
A simple example:

Code:

 C:\CD %UserProfile%\Desktop

And

Code:

'Place to deposit excel output file
Depo=oShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%userprofile%" & "\Desktop\Folder_This_User_Needs_Easy_Access_To\")
if not objfso.folderexists(Depo) then
objFSO.CreateFolder(Depo)
end if

These no longer work when using Folder Redirection. I'm hoping there is a work around for this because a lot of my existing scripts depend on this variable remaining valid. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Nevermind, apparently this can enable pointing to to a redirected profile:
oShell.SpecialFolders
