I think you may be confusing the Visual Studio tool with the behavior of a typical web server. Visual Studio allows you to set the startup page for debugging and testing. On the flip side, a web server has configured default documents (typically Default.aspx, index.html, etc).
Alberto has the idea by either checking authentication in the default page and then redirecting you to a login page. Another thing you can look at is using the built-in Asp.Net authentication/authorization functionality, where you can lock down all your pages except for the login. You can then provide a default redirect for unauthorized users that will bounce to login.aspx regardless of what page they try to visit. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff647070.aspx will give you a basic idea of how this works in 2.0 Asp.NET. 4.0 is nearly identical minus the few unnecessary modules. You can set specific permissions on urls using the <location path="login.aspx"> configuration. You would drop a system.web and authorization to allow all users. For the default authorization, you would simply set deny users=* under <authorization>.
