Vista - Detect "System Protection" status

Hi all there,

I was wondering how one would be able to detect if "System protection"
is enabled on a volume in Vista Ultimate. Is there a PSDK API that
would give the status of a selected volume's "System protection"
state. I would appreciate any help form you in this regard.

Thanks

Raj

A Volume's status should show up on the System Protection tab in System
Properties. Open Control Panel, select System, go to the System Protection
tab, you can choose to protect or not protect volumes by placing a check or
removing a check next to the listed Available Disks which should appear
momentarily after you go to the System Protection tab.

Michael Solomon,

Yes that I know, but how would you find that it is enabled for a
volume programmatically?

Thanks

Hmm, perhaps you should be asking this question in developer's or
programmer's newsgroup or perhaps I don't quite understand your question.
