Adding objects to the Explorer

Is it possible to add objects to the tree of objects displayed by the=
explorer.
The objects should be "virtual file objects" of a new "file class".
Answer on if and how it can be done would be appreciated.
PS. I have read and understand about shell extensions for file extensions.=

I think what you really require is a "shell namespace extension", or
a folder somewhat like the Briefcase or Control Panel objects. This
class of folder does not actually map to a disk directory structure,
but instead implements a private hierarchy of your own objects.
There is a website at http://194.72.60.96/www/huey/_w95vf.htm that
has a fairly complete description, sample code, and a quasi-FAQ
describing how to create your own folders capable of being browsed
using Explorer. Not much activity or updates lately, but the samples
are extensive and informative. Incredibly, some of the participants
have hacked into SHELL32.DLL to explore the undocumented aspects of
the extensions and come out with OLE interface definitions!

Maybe, in a future release of Windows, you'll see that this interface is very
different. So, perhaps the reason it isn't well-documented is that it isn't
finished and will change soon. But, of course, who can predict the future?
