Why% appdata% and another variable are not visible in the gui window

I searched for several hours trying to find the reason why some environment variables are visible in the control panel> system> advanced-system-settings> environment-variables. Where are the other variables set and why are they not visible here?

Windows stores the location of special folders for each user under the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

shared special folders are listed on the same path in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE:

HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
