Ahoy,

I'd like to mount a "virtual drive" myself on Windows XP, I guess using the windows API.

What I thought about would be like a server interface, meaning explorer.exe would send "queries", like, list directory, or get file through a pipe or whatever...

I know some programs do it, maybe not the way I think it is done, but what the heck,

:D

if you know anything, enlighten me please!

I'm not sure what you want. In the MS-DOS 6.X days there was a M$ program that created virtual drives, such as creating d: out of c:\mydir. Microsoft removed that ability I believe with Windows NT 4.0.

As far as my researches got me, what I need is a shell namespace extension, similar to GmailDrive.

But god the API's complex :( , plus I don't know much about COM programming...

>>plus I don't know much about COM programming

That too is a very very complex topic -- several books have been written about it.
