Programatically detecting ReadyBoost

Hello,
Does anyone know if there is an API to programatically determine in
ReadyBoost is enabled on a removable drive? I've been looking everywhere
without much luck.
Thanks,

Hector

Re: Programatically detecting ReadyBoost

Seems unlikely because the way I understand it the whole paging file goes to
flash memory if it's there. Otherwise, it just stays on the drive as always.
In fact it shadows to the drive in case the user yanks the flash drive. I
don't see anyway you could programatically exploit ReadyBoost if that's the
way it works. You'd just just use the paging file as always.

But I could be wrong. I'm just guessing here.
