// Register custom view folders
//
// Developer Notes
// When a view name is referenced in code, MVC will search for the view in both the "Views" and the
// "Views/Shared" folders. If you create other subfolders under the "Views" folder MVC does not know about
// them. This does not leave much room for proper organization as the "Shared" folder should really only
// contain views that are shared across the entire site. To solve this problem I use a product called
// Enhanced View Locator which is used to register other view folders with MVC.
