Make index.html show instead of Default.aspx?

Question

We are working on an aspx site that we would like to not show users until we are ready to launch. The Default.aspx seems to have more "power" over my index.html file. All I would like to do is show the index.html by default and when working on the site, we can navigate to Default.aspx and work from there.

Answer 1

This is an IIS setting.

In IIS 7 or above, use the Default Document tool. In IIS 6 or below, use the "Default Documents" tab.
