How to simulate a disk in Windows

I recently looked at the Google Data API. He looks good.

What I want to do is create an application like "G Drive". This will mainly appear in the driver in the browser with its own icon. From there, you can drag and drop operations to and from Google Docs, and create folders. Yes, I heard about Gladinet and Memeo, but both of them are not great solutions. I decided to build one from scratch and release it as open source as soon as it appears in Alpha.

In any case, I need to advise.

Obviously, I need a way to simulate a disk in Explorer. Is it possible to create some kind of virtual disk, and then have its list of contents from an XML file, and not a folder on the hard drive?

So, if the XML file (for example) contains a collection of elements, is it possible for these elements (with some work) to be displayed in the explorer window for the disk. Almost like changing the data source to represent the explorer from the file system to the contents of the file?

Hack or not, elegant or dirty, did anyone find a way to do this?
