-  If the variable @code{w32-get-true-file-attributes} is
-non-@code{nil} (the default), Emacs tries to determine the accurate
-link counts for files.  This option is only useful on NTFS volumes,

+(the default), Emacs tries to determine the accurate link counts and
+file types for files on local fixed drives.  Any other non-@code{nil}
