Query for local dropbox folder location

I am looking to write a local batch file (or AutoHotkey app) that will launch programs stored in Dropbox. How can I get the path to the user's local dropbox folder? I am hoping for something like an environment variable (like %dropboxpath%) or a registry entry, or, if need be, and SDK/API method.

Thanks.
