The Use [account] rather than [domain].[account] for folder naming format check box in the Windows Authentication Options configuration (in the Site wizard and on the Site's General tab) is selected by default when you are using the NT4 Account Name as a logon attribute and if Create a physical folder under the site root folder is selected. Without the check box selected, the user's folder in the VFS is named with the domain and the user account (domain.username). Selecting the check box removes the domain from the folder name.
The relevant settings are indicated in the screen shots below. The table below the screen shots describes what the user's home folder would be in the VFS with various configuration.
In the examples in the table:
AD domain name is "win2k3_2.com"
Domain controller has configuration for user "JDoe"
Local path: "C:\InetPub\"
Display Name: "DNJDoe"
