I know hardly anything about the Windows API. But, my understanding is that Windows Explorer is actually the default shell for Windows, and that DriveInfo()-type functions use lower-level calls into the filesystem. So the difference might be something like
- Explorer uses "Shell API" calls
- DriveInfo() uses "Filesystem API" calls
if that makes any sense.
