Default document means that your server is looking for these docs if ther=
e
is nothing specified by the URL. If you specifiy several default docs the=
n
your server looks for these docs in the order you specified them. Having
index.htm, default.htm, index.html, ... specified as default causes your
server first to look for index.htm, if this is not there it looks for
default.htm, ....
So, if you have index.htm and default.htm in your directory index.htm wil=
l
be the first in our example.
I'm sure IIS4.0 does this but I'm not quite sure if IIS3.0 does also.
