I'm in the process of tinkering with Kartris to confirm suitability for a particular customer (who in turn will pay for a licence once the project is at least mid-way), and am surprised by the lengths one has to go to, to customise the URL of the "admin" folder.
I've created and/or maintained several cart solutions in the past and all had very simple methods of re-naming/moving the administrative functionality - either simply re-naming the folder, or changing a configuration entry and then re-naming it. Some have even allowed re-naming of the administrative home page (to something other than "Default" or "Index").
It strikes me as a rather obvious addition to security measures - potential hackers will always try "/Admin," but the chances of them trying "/SomeRandomFolder/SomeRandomFile.aspx" would be pretty slim (unless they've gained control of the server or the admin's computer by other means, in which case it's already too late).
I know I can lunge in there with VisualStudio (or even a decent text editor) to make the required changes, but I'd like to suggest for your next iteration that you include a "quick 'n' easy" method of changing the admin home location - and perhaps (as a couple of other carts have done) even force the selection of a custom name during the installation process.
