Direct Link To DLL Via File Path?

What I need to do is link the EXE to a dll that is in another directory out there somewhere. But I don't want to use the assembly namespace. I want to be able to set the direct path to the DLL. So basically this is how its setup

J:\AppBar.exe 'The executable that will need access to the
C:\testdlls\EnvVarsPro.dll 'The DLL that the executable needs to be able to find.

So far I've come to the conclusion that the answer lays somewhere in the app.config file. This is what I've got for code...

<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<!--<probing privatePath="root\res\applib"/>-->
<dependentAssembly>

[code].....

I believe this is setup write. The publicKeyToken is set to null because its not strongly signed and I'm not exactly sure what culture is just yet. But for whatever reason it just doesn't work.You can see a commented line that does work but only if the executable accessing the DLL is in the directory above root. In order to bring organization to my file structure I need to do it with everything kind of put away and not smashed into one directory.
