Actually, you can look for "ShellIconCache" in win*/, however this is a bad idea. First, I happen to have several vfat partitions that don't hold the windows subtree (which so happens to be called win96 on one of my systems, so you would not even know the location of that directory without looking in msdos.sys which could be on a different partition that is not even necessarly mounted).
My point is just that this kind of autodection would have _many_ reasons to fail. For many people, a mount option would be the only reliable option.
