Load MSCAPI Java Keystore without loading private keys (hard token)

Question

I would like to load a MSCAPI keystore within Java and examine available certificates in the MY store. However some keys for those certificates reside on hardware tokens and a popup asks for the token during load.

Is there a way to defer loading the private keys when loading the Windows keystore?

keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("Windows-MY", "SunMSCAPI");
keystore.load(null,null);
