| strExec = 'copy "z:\MS Exchange Settings.NK2" 
| "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft
| \Outlook\"'

[... snip rest of code ...]

I'll leave others to comment on popen; I would just point
out that there are easier and perhaps more rubust ways to
copy a file under Win32. Perhaps you were just using this
as a simple example, in which case ignore this post. But
just in case, check out copyfile in the shutil module, or
CopyFile in win32file.
