Extend Windows Explorer Views like GAC View

Is it possible to extend Windows Explorer in Windows 7 with a custom view like "C:\windows\assembly". Behind this is a normal Folder Hierarchy (Visible via Cmd).

Are there any tools to spy into this microsoft implementation in order to find some possibilites?

EDIT: Is there a documentation for HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

there is no magic and no need to spy anything, it all works with COM natively in Windows, no reason to spy or sniff from the registry, just plenty of theory to learn...

most of the examples are provided in C / C++, read this article for an introduction, in there you find many interface names and other keywords you can use to refine your search:
