Hi,

Anyone out there who could help me solve this problem?
I am new to the world of web design and I thought Id try my hand at setting up a website. Which is here - http://www.hypnosis-superstore.com
As you can see it is an alias for where my files are hosted (http://www.southwest-partnership.com)

Now the whole site is in ASP. I have a basic index.htm page that does a 'refresh URL command' to make the index page launch the home ASP page from a folder.

Does anyone know how to change the default launch page of my domain from the basic index.htm in the main directory to an .ASP page in a folder of the root directory?

Is it even possible? I'd like my users to be faced with the actual home page instead of this re-freshing page when it launches.

Thanks for all your help.

Andy

possibles;
1/ Use the IIS MMC to change the home directory.

2/ Put a default.asp page on the root with a 301 redirect to the page you want to use.
301 Redirects

Chris - Just tried that and it works an absolute treat. Does this affect any links people make to the domain hypnosis-superstore.com in a negative way at all?

Thanks again for your help.
