Rather than simple transclusion, you can use a macro with a parameter.
Make a new tiddler and tag it with *$:/tags/Macro*. Include the following:
\define folderStuff($_$)
blah-blah<br/>
Navigate to C:\$_$<br/>
blah2-blah2
\end
Save this macro tiddler.
In another tiddler where you want the directions to appear, type:
<<folderStuff "Mary's Folder">>
<<folderStuff "Bob's Folder">>
etc...
