I think the original author adds the relative path "%APPDATA%..." with the intention to keep it effective even when the set path of APPDATA changes. However that compulsively changes the type of PATH var to REG_EXPAND_SZ.

It is reasonable that the type of PATH var should not be changed. So I think when the type is REG_SZ, not adding the %APPDATA% path and instead adding the absolute path of it should be a good idea.

I just modified my PR and fixed it this way, along with other problems that Eryk Sun mentioned.
