keep cms in subdir and redirect from root ???

[corvus]

Is it for security reasons possible to keep my cms in a subdir (/strangename)
and redirect from root to this subdir ??

So in the internet explorer the actual dir is not shown as

"http://www.mysite.xx/strangedir"

but as

"http://www.mysite.xx/"

It's possible to move the admin directory and set $config['admin_dir']
There's no security reasons I can think of to move the frontend.

[tsw]

but if you want you can.

check the default .htaccess file you need to change it a bit but it should be quite easy
