Create a MY_Router.php class in ./application/core and add this:

PHP Code:

class MY_Router extends CI_Router {

     /**
      * Set default controller
      *
      * @return void
      */
     protected function _set_default_controller()
     {
         if (empty($this->default_controller))
         {
             show_error('Unable to determine what should be displayed. A default route has not been specified in the routing file.');
         }

         // Is the method being specified?
         if (sscanf($this->default_controller, '%[^/]/%s', $class, $method) !== 2)
         {
             $method = 'index';
         }
         
         // This is what I added, checks if the class is a directory
         if( is_dir(APPPATH.'controllers/'.$class) ) {
             // Set the class as the directory
             $this->set_directory($class);
             // $method is the class
             $class = $method;
             // Re check for slash if method has been set
             if (sscanf($method, '%[^/]/%s', $class, $method) !== 2)
             {
                 $method = 'index';
             }
         }

         if ( ! file_exists(APPPATH.'controllers/'.$this->directory.ucfirst($class).'.php'))
         {
             // This will trigger 404 later
             return;
         }

         $this->set_class($class);
         $this->set_method($method);

         // Assign routed segments, index starting from 1
         $this->uri->rsegments = array(
             1 => $class,
             2 => $method
         );

         log_message('debug', 'No URI present. Default controller set.');
     }
}

Why not leave the welcome controller but have a redirect to your subfolder and method you want to be the default route. That's what I am doing.

But if you do want to do that this should work:

PHP Code:

if( is_dir(APPPATH.'controllers/'.$error_class) ) {
    // Set the class as the directory
    $RTR->set_directory($error_class);
    // $method is the class
    $error_class = $error_method;
    // Re check for slash if method has been set
    if (sscanf($error_method, '%[^/]/%s', $error_class, $error_method) !== 2)
    {
        $error_method = 'index';
    }
} 


Place it after these lines, round line number 433-436:

PHP Code:

if (sscanf($RTR->routes['404_override'], '%[^/]/%s', $error_class, $error_method) !== 2)
{
    $error_method = 'index';
}
