Some of us "guys" aren't :D We do this all the time. We create a page called "default.htm" (or something). This is placed at the root level for the domain. In IIS manager, select the domain in your Web Sites directory, and get the Properties for the domain. Click on the tab "Documents". If the file named "default.htm" doesn't exist, click the Add.. button. Make sure you have this page at the TOP of the list! Then rename the file "default.htm BAK" via FTP or however you access the site. If the file is renamed, it won't be served. However, rename the file when you are ready to show it (remove the " BAK"). Stop the Witango service and your default page will display! ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf
