How do i specify what page should be loaded first in my asp project? I have a directory structure:

/root/myproject/my.asp

I currently have a index.html page in the root directory that redirects to the my.asp when somebody browses to my site. How can I eliminate this step and have my.asp be the first file processed?
 
the usual default page for IIS would be named "default.asp" but check with your web host as they may have changed this or set other pagenames up.

Indifference will be the downfall of mankind, but who cares?
 
And a benefit of keeping with the standard default.asp is that if you ever change Web hosts or hand your code off to someone else there will be less confusion (when possible keep it simple)...

And I just checked the IIS on my local, development Win XP machine and in IIS's default Web site's properties the Documents tab is where the default page names are stored.
