Now for a definition of terms: The "www.msn.com" in your
example is your WEBSITE ADDRESS (or URL). The "index.htm"
is the HOMEPAGE on your WEBISTE.

The home page name is set by your host. This is usually
either "index" or "default". With this designation,
visitors may access your site by simply typing in your
web site address. The server then supplies the proper
home page name and thus your home page appears.

Visit some sites on the web and observe what they show in
the Address bar of IE when you access their home page.
