How are INITs loaded in System 7?

In System 7, INITs are referred to as "system extensions." The system looks
for extensions in three places when loading them at boot time:

* First, it looks in the Extensions folder (located in the System Folder).
This is the proper place to put your compatible INITs or system extensions.
* Second, it looks in the Control Panels folder (also inside the System
Folder).
* Third, it loads any extensions it finds at the root level of the
System Folder itself.
