How to check if RDP is Enabled?

[Polaris]

Hi:

Is there an API to check if the user has "Remote Desktop" (Control Panel -
Remote) enabled?

Did not find any SDK APIs for this, and I searched whole registry but failed
to find any registry value is read about "Remote Desktop" Setting.

Is there some other development package I'm missing now (I have .NET Dev
environment).

Thanks In Advance!

Check to see if the Terminal Services service is running.

Thanks for your info, but it seems not working: I did not enable the Remote
Desktop but the "Terminal Services" is still running (Service Status is
"Started").

Just found out the registry setting for the RDP flag:

System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Terminal Server\\fDenyTSConnections

That's easier than a telnet command?
