OL2007 - determine if shared calendar folder has been cached

It's my understanding that you can cache/synchronize shared calendars in
Outlook 2007 although there can be technical and performance issues depending
on which version of Exchange 2003/2007 you are connected to (see more info
below).

Can anyone advise (using Redemption, the registry of OOM) how one determines
programmatically if a mailbox profile has been configured so that "Download
shared folders" (see Advanced tab) is checked?

Thanks, Tad

more info....

"....the ability to cache shared calendars is new to Outlook 2007. For each
shared calendar that is cached, an additional mail connection is opened to
the Exchange Server 2003 server. The additional connections exceed the number
of initial connections that are required to access a mailbox on the Exchange
Server 2003 server. Opening additional connections will increase network
traffic to the Exchange Server 2003 server. Additionally, the other remote
procedure calls (RPC) connections create a performance burden on the Exchange
Server 2003 server."

From a registry comparison before and after setting this value I get :

keypath is :

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\<profileName>\13dbb0c8aa05101a9bb000aa002fc45a]

key is : "00036601"

hex value = hex:84,19,00,00 on

hex value = hex:84,11,00,00 off
