Could anybody tell me if one can create a
virtual drive like a network drive,from
within my own program created by VC++?

Which can accessed by every application
diplayed in My Computer,opend by Explore,
etc.

Thank you

I believe what you are looking for are the so called "shell namespace extensions".
And yes, it is possible to write a shell namespace extension with Visual
C++. For more information and sample code see

C++ can do anything that computer theorists say can be done on a computer.
