The home page on my site is index.html but I can't get the little Home Page
icon to appear. All of the oneline help forums and the FrontPage 2003 book I
have say I should be able to right-click and see 'Set to home page.' But when
I right-click on the file, it isn't one of the options. How do I get it to
'know' which top page is my home page?

Try contacting your host.

FrontPage detects the "default" file (that the server sends back when no
specfic file is requested) based on what the server says they are.

You can't just assign it yourself and then make that type the homepage.
Your host has to go into the settings and change it on the server. OR, you
could just figure out what it is and use that home page name. Try:
default.htm default.html index.htm index.html home.htm home.html.

In the long run, it does not matter what it is as long as you, FrontPage,
and the server all agree on what it is.
 
You can only do this on a diskbased Web. This is so you can have the
same name locally as on the Server.
