Create a protected folder, or something like that to put your real users in. Use whatever user-folder you want here. It is pretty general experience that users do not care about the extra component in the path. All they want is an URL that pops them to wherever they should begin. But, you never want to have your admin account locked out because a user folder is broken. And acl_users remains the most tested user folder. You do have to make sure that Data.fs is well-protected!

I was *positive* that there was a howto about this exact topic. Not only was I positive, but I even remember who wrote it, and basically what the title was. It was written by Evan Gibson and titled "Using Generic User Folder at the Root" or something like it. It however seems to have completely and utterly disappeared. It involved some unpleasant steps, I do remember.
Perhaps you can track down the howto, sorry.

I am sure this question has been asked before, but I can find any information on how to replace the root acl_users folder with something like CookieUserFolder. Can some one tell me how or point me to some docs?
Thanks,
