How to Add variables to os.system() command

I am programming a software that does manipulation of my screens (3 monitors).

I would like to add a variable in my line os.system(R'"command line here"')

import os
os.getcwd()
os.system(R'"tools\MultiMonitorTool.exe /MoveWindow "\\.\DISPLAY5" Process "msedge.exe""')
os.system(R'"tools\MultiMonitorTool.exe /MoveWindow "\\.\DISPLAY1" Process "Pos.exe""')
os.system(R'"tools\MultiMonitorTool.exe /MoveWindow "\\.\DISPLAY2" Process "chrome.exe""')

I would like to replace the words \\.\DISPLAY# with a variable in my configurations.ini file. I succeeded in displaying the information in my configurations.ini file but I can't insert it in my os.system() code, it always gives an error.

Each computer has a different screen configuration. So I need to have a config file with the info for each installation.

My configuratoins.ini

[Configuration]
frontview = \\DISPLAY5
topview = \\DISPLAY2
mainview = \\DISPLAY1

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
