Not too bright – when it searches for a View, it looks here:

~/Views/BankWorkInstruction01/_BankWorkInstruction01DEView.aspx
~/Views/BankWorkInstruction01/_BankWorkInstruction01DEView.ascx
~/Views/Shared/_BankWorkInstruction01DEView.aspx
~/Views/Shared/_BankWorkInstruction01DEView.ascx
~/Views/BankWorkInstruction01/_BankWorkInstruction01DEView.cshtml
~/Views/BankWorkInstruction01/_BankWorkInstruction01DEView.vbhtml
~/Views/Shared/_BankWorkInstruction01DEView.cshtml
~/Views/Shared/_BankWorkInstruction01DEView.vbhtml

public class CustomViewEngine : WebFormViewEngine
{
  public CustomViewEngine()
  {
    var viewLocations =  new[] {  
        "~/Views/{1}/{0}.aspx",  
        "~/Views/{1}/{0}.ascx",  
        "~/Views/Shared/{0}.aspx",  
        "~/Views/Shared/{0}.ascx",  
        "~/AnotherPath/Views/{0}.ascx"
        // etc
    };

    this.PartialViewLocationFormats = viewLocations;
    this.ViewLocationFormats = viewLocations;
  }
}

And then register it:

protected void Application_Start()
{
    ViewEngines.Engines.Clear();
    ViewEngines.Engines.Add(new CustomViewEngine());
}
