Activesync

Need a little help.  I am using MS ActiveSync to transfer files from the PC to a pocket PC and have a separate program that handles that without too much issue.  My problem resides in needing a way to verify that an Live ActiveSync connection is present on running.  The end user DOES NOT have the ability to see the taskbar or the ActiveSync GUI interface this is all in the background and the end user CANNOT bring this into view.  Due to restrictions on the end user they cannot have access to the taskbar or the actual MS Active sync GUI.

Thanks in advance for any and all help......
