I guess I'm wide awake. While looking for something else, I came across this, I'm sure someone could use it.

Add this code to the OnPreInit() of the basepage. In this example, the masterpage changes to a 2 column layout from a 3 column layout if the page is in the '/forum' or '/classifieds' folder.


public class BasePage : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected override void OnPreInit(EventArgs e)
    {
        string inf = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Request.Path);
        string homesection = inf.Substring(inf.LastIndexOf("\\") + 1).ToLower();
        if (homesection == "forum" || homesection == "classifieds")
        {
            Page.MasterPageFile = "~/_components/masterpages/2ColFaux.master";

        }
        else
        {
            Page.MasterPageFile = "~/_components/masterpages/3ColFaux.master";

        }

        base.OnPreInit(e);
}
}

Neato :) One thing I'd recommend you to do, though, is move the list of "special" folders to the web.config. That way, if you end up tweaking more, you can load it from a single place, rather than hard-coding it.
