You did not specify the level of detail you want, but you can find out if a memory block belongs to a memory mapped file using the VirtualQueryEx function. If it is a shared memory block you have encountered, then the MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION.Type field will be MEM_MAPPED.

I have not been able to make the VirtualQueryEx function work in some circumstances for 32-bit applications running on Windows 7, because of the WOW layer.
