Could you be more specific as to why each user needs their own directory?
What would "Jack" get that requires him to have a different directory than
"Sue" or "Tom"?

I ask because ASP.NET can build content on the fly. Content can be cached
based on an url parameter (i.e. the user) so that different users get
different output. And, there are many more options to ensure that different
users to a site get different results.
