Sure you can, especially if you study the component's source code.  That is
how I learned everything I know today :-)  Well, almost everything...

TFolderTree is a very thorough implementation of Windows Shell management,
that's why I suggested it.  Shell programming can be quite complex.  If
you're not in any hurry, then sure, write your own.  But if you're needing
this for a production project, then writing shell code from scratch may take
too long.
