I have to disagree. I did try and write a shell extension once - even 
with the Delphi wizards helping with the boilerplate it was still some 
kind of Buddhist patience-enhancing mental excercise. In the end I 
trashed Explorer and had to reinstall Windows. There's a *lot* of work 
involved in writing one.

Anyway part of the reason for having the new APIs and restructuring the 
code is so we can have a non-standard UI. If it's implemented as a shell 
namespace extension the code will get a lot more complex, and the UI 
will still show the mapped drives alongside the new namespace which 
would be confusing to say the least.
