title: ASP.NET MVC 4: Register Route With Area Folder Name Different From Route Name
body: <p>I'd simply like to configure the location of a registered route versus the convention of using the folder name of the area as the location to find it's views, controllers, ect.</p>
  
  <p>For example; in my mvc 4 web application, I have a folder with path "~/Areas/Orders".  Under the "Orders" area, I have a "HomeController" an "Index()" action and an "Index.cshtml" view file.</p>
  
  <p>However, I want to replace the URL route to the "Orders" area with "O" without changing the name of the "Orders" folder.  So a client using my site would browse to "www.mysite.com/O/Home/Index" instead of "www.mysite.com/Orders/Home/Index"</p>
  
  <p>Any advice would be appreciate.</p>
