Plug in detection with Explorer?

I have mirror intranet sites for each browser. Our intranet is partially used to launch software through a Citrix ICA plug in. In the Netscape site, I have used JavaScript to check for the current plug in. That works fine. The Explorer version needs the same. Because Explorer doesn't have a default plug in location like Netscape, you can't use the same code. But since this is an intranet, and since all of my users who use Explorer are on Windows NT, and the plug in is in the same location for each one (WINNT/SYSTEM32 folder)can I test for it? I'd appreciate any direction anyone could give me.
