No, a user-defined location can't be added to the drive lists or drive bars. But there's plenty of other places where you can: directory hotlist (Ctrl+D), TC start menu, TC button bar, TC menu (if you edit the menu file), and maybe even more.

Using the "subst" command of your OS, you can assign local paths,
or by using "net use X: \\server\share" connect remote shares to a drive letter,
which are automatically added to that drop down boxes.




Example use in a "DOS-Box":
C:\> subst M: "C:\Users\STEFan\Music"


Now you have drive M: in the Alt+F1, Alt+F2 drop down boxes.
