Where does the JVM.dll search for dependent dll's

The java JVM.dll uses in certain environments the MS dll MSVCR71.dll. When looking for this resource, does the JVM.dll look for it in certain locations in a proscribed order. For example, does it look for it in the current directory first, then some system directory?

Windows uses a documented search path to look for DLLs – Java probably uses that for the C runtime. (Any process may otherwise load a DLL from an arbitrary path in the filesystem security restrictions notwithstanding, but I don't believe this is the case.)
