Remarks
Windows sets the value of DEVPKEY_Device_RemovalPolicy to one of the CM_REMOVAL_POLICY_Xxx values that are defined in Cfgmgr32.h.
You can call CM_Get_DevNode_Property or SetupDiGetDeviceProperty to retrieve the value of DEVPKEY_Device_RemovalPolicy property.
Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP support this property, but do not support the DEVPKEY_Device_RemovalPolicy property key. Instead, you can use the corresponding SPDRP_REMOVAL_POLICY identifier to access the value of the property on these earlier versions of Windows. For information about how to access this property value on these earlier versions of Windows, see Accessing Device Instance SPDRP_Xxx Properties.
