Where does the possible directories from the application's App Paths
registry entry fit into this? (For instance, if you have Acrobat
Reader 4.0, look at the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Paths\AcroRd32.exe . It contains a couple or directories that should
be searched for DLLs when running acrord32.exe.) My wild guess is that
these directories are inserted at front of those in %PATH%.
