Hi

No simple and easy way to do this.

Use of brute force technique does work but does not give all information.

Some nice techniques available on the www.codeproject.com (seach
'enumeratel') - for best results its worth implementing a couple of
techniques described on the site, as they do give different results.

If you don't have to support old operating systems then your takes is a bit
easier (you don't have to load libraries)
