OK, fair enough, it is an edge case... I am a stickler for correctness! :P Looking at previous threads though actually, I notice that the following is documented by Microsoft regarding the obcaseinsensitive value:
"If this setting is enabled, case insensitivity is enforced for all directory objects, symbolic links, and IO objects, including file objects. Disabling this setting does not allow the Win32 subsystem to become case sensitive." You could just get away with therefore, in theory, a call to NtOpenSymbolicLinkObject for \SYSTEMROOT. If it fails because it cannot be found, you know that the system is running with case sensitivity, otherwise, it is case sensitive.
