Changing default directory structure in asp.net mvc

Question

I am working on asp.net mvc project which is quite large in size. I am new to the MVC stuff.

As Asp.Net MVC have default folder structure Controller, Views or Model so can we change this structure. what if instead of Controller i have different folder? Is it possible?

Although it is possible to change the LocationFormats of a view engine, this isn't recommended as it messes with the standard MVC conventions.

Instead, you should consider using Areas for each of your major 'modules' of functionality.

Your folder structure will then be similar to:

/(MVC Root)
/Areas
   /Sales
      /Controllers
      /Views
   /Financials
      /Controllers
      /Views

etc.

Areas is the way to go in 99% of all the situations I can think of.
