I believe that the mounts that setup creates are system wide, so they would
be under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.  See what you can find there.  The output of 
cygcheck -s -r will show you the current mount point keys and what they are
set to.

Perhaps on your machine, although this is a deprecated location for a mount 
point.  Setup won't create one of these.
