There are two approaches you can take. One is to write a device driver, which can be assigned a drive letter. The other is to write a namespace extension which can add a folder under My Computer (along side Control Panel). I have a tutorial on namespace extensions in the Shell section. --Mike-- Buy me stuff! Like the Google toolbar? Then check out UltraBar, with more features & customizable search engines! My really out-of-date homepage Big fan of Alyson Hannigan and Jamie Salé.
