The home icon is the one that looks like a little house.
Your default Home page is the index.htm page that is in the "root" or main folder containing your
web.
If for example, the folder that contains your web is named "philsweb" it should show as a folder
with a blue globe on it.
If you open the "philsweb" folder, the file inside it named index.htm is automatically your default
or "Home" page.
The local copy can be named index.htm or index.html with it normally being index.htm.
When you publish, FrontPage queries the server for the proper name and extension required by the
server, and will automatically change the extension to .html if needed.
Any other folder in your web ( if you have made other folders to hold content ) can have a file
named index.htm however, the "only" "default home page" is the one that opens when someone clicks a
link to open your web.
That is: clicking www.yourdomain.com will automatically open the "Home page"
That's why it's called the "default"
