SSL access to files in httpdocs, in Windows?

In another thread, Robbie mentioned this capability of Plesk, which seems to be available in the Linux version but not the Windows version, perhaps? I don't want to have to keep a 2nd copy of all of my source files in httpsdocs .. is there any way I can tell IIS to just use httpdocs?

Why the funky directory structure anyways? That was something new to me .. I've used IIS in the past on directory / folder structures that I control. Is that a Plesk thing too? Any way to bypass it?
