If I change the name of the folder that acts as the document root of an add-on domain, is this going to break any scripts (because the path changes, etc)?

It shouldn't unless you've set the actual path in a config file somewhere.

You mean if I hardcoded an absolute path in a random script somewhere?

What about password-protected directories that I renamed? It appears that CPanel was smart enough to keep them protected, but I noticed that the protected directories have htaccess files in them that have the old path coded in them when the directories were initially protected. Is this code just incidental?

Exactly. For instance on my vBulletin forum the attachments directory is hardcoded. It shouldn't be an issue on most scripts.

.htaccess is what actually does the password protecting. Adding password protection in cPanel simply generates an htaccess for that directory. The path shouldn't be hard coded. You can always just open the file in a text editor and check.
