cmdexec in SQL agent Jobs

If I do xp_cmdexec 'dir' it displays the directory:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\NT
on a different sql server the same command shows the directory:
C:\WINNT\system32
How do you set the directory which xp_cmdexec uses?My guess is that it uses the PATH environment variable. You should be able to check that from a DOS
box:
SET
