Default document can be set at any URL level on IIS6, just like IIS5.

I have no idea what you mean by "subweb" -- it is a concept specific to some
server software running on top of IIS, and you will have to look there for
support. Meanwhile, you are looking at the IIS MMC Snapin for the various
websites, which is *not* the view that the other server software presents.

For example, Sharepoint runs on top of IIS, and the web page and websites
that you can create in sharepoint are not exactly the same things on IIS
when viewed from the IIS MMC Snapin... so you will have to know how
Sharepoint works with IIS configuration in order to change configuration in
IIS to change Sharepoint behavior.

It's like you run an application on Windows, and you know it reads Registry
for special behavior -- so you have to know what Registry key to change and
how, in order to get special behavior in the application. Substitute
metabase for registry, IIS for Windows, and Sharepoint for application, and
it works the same way.

In IIS 5, I was able to set the default documents for each subweb
separately.  I cannot see how to do this in IIS 6.  All I see is the
administration web, the Sharepoint administration web, and my root web.  I
don't see the subwebs listed anywhere or how to get to their properties.
