    How can I integrate with the WINDOWS EXPLORER window

    You know how you can use REMOTE DESKTOP and see your local drives as a type of SYSTEM FOLDER with a comment of DISK FROM REMOTE DESKTOP CONNECTION. If your browse to a folder you might see the ADDRESS look like this

    \\tsclient\C\Windows

    What is tsclient? Is that a driver that is "expressing" itself like a folder structure?

    How about when you plug a camera or other device in a usb port and it shows as a G: drive, for instance?

    I'm guessing the G: drive trick is just a "driver" starting up for the usb port that somehow makes itself seen as a mapped drive.

    Is the \\tsclient thing done the same way? Is there some kind of tsclient.exe that runs to do whatever this does?

    How can I make my own "pseudo" folder structure? Where would I start to dive into accomplishing this?
