I have a Web Application that automatically installs under the Default Web
Site. I usually disable the Default Web Site. So I thought of just renaming
the Default Web Site to another name. Will I still run into the same
security risks as if I just kept the name Default Web Site? Any tips or
suggestions? I ran the Meta Edit and look at the registry and can not see
anything hard coded.

TIA,
Kevin
