I don't think they'll mind a quote snippet, do you? It'd be kind of stupid to paraphrase it.

With both implicit and explicit linking, Windows first searches the set of
pre-installed DLLs such as the performance library (KERNEL32.DLL) and the
security library (USER32.DLL). Windows then searches for the DLLs in the following sequence: 

The directory where the executable module for the current process is located. 
The current directory. 
The Windows system directory. The GetSystemDirectory function retrieves the path of this directory. 
The Windows directory. The GetWindowsDirectory function retrieves the path of this directory. 
The directories listed in the PATH environment variable. 
Note   The LIBPATH environment variable is not used.

I.e., unless you are trying to override some pre-installed thing, just putting your DLL's
in the same directory as your .exe ought to work.

BTW, you can't see the URL with Netscape 4.5.
I wonder if their servers talk to IE in a special way ;-/
