Remarks
After the Start method is called on a provider, the InitializeDefaultDrives method is called. This is an opportunity for the provider to mount drives that are important to it. For instance, the Active Directory provider might mount a drive for the defaultNamingContext if the machine is joined to a domain.
All providers should mount a root drive to help the user with discoverability. This root drive might contain a listing of a set of locations that would be interesting as roots for other mounted drives. For instance, the Active Directory provider my create a drive that lists the naming contexts found in the namingContext attributes on the RootDSE. This will help users discover interesting mount points for other drives.
