How to detect if Auto-update is enabled

The topic pretty much says it all. I want to detect if the user has
auto-update enabled/disabled using c++ (inside Windows XP). Is there
an API call or a registry entry to check? Im having a hard time
finding information on this.

Thanks,
elitecodex

You can do it simply by checking the appropriate registry keys.
see this link for the key details.
