I would suggest a Shell Namespace Extension.  It doesn't even need a drive
letter assigned to it, it can be a virtual device that is listed directly
underneath the top-level Desktop without any file sytem attached to it.
Device Drivers are very low-level programming.  A Shell Namespace Extension
can be programmed in BCB just fine.
