There's a great little free program available called LSP-Fix that shows the list of Layered Service Providers and will even allow you to remove one of the providers. It's a necessary because of the Spyware/Adware that installs itself without an Uninstaller. If the component is Unregistered or Removed the users internet service is dead.

I'm interested in building similiar technology into our program along with some extra features. Any idea what API calls are available to enumerate the current Layered Service Providers and view the chain like LSP-Fix does?
For example my XP Pro system shows my chain as
mswsock.dll Tcpip
winrnr.dll NTDS
rsvpsp.dll (Protocol handler)
If you can point me to the most appropriate API set I'm sure I can do the rest.

Thanks,
Bill
