Remarks
You can extend the behavior of an existing node type by implementing the IExplorerNodeTypeExtension interface. For more information, see How to: Extend a SharePoint Node in Server Explorer.
To create a new node type, implement the IExplorerNodeTypeProvider interface and use it to initialize an IExplorerNodeTypeDefinition object. For more information, see How to: Add a Custom SharePoint Node to Server Explorer
