Kindly tell me how to configure in the IIS webserver the default file so that if you call in the browser only the folder, the file must be returned.
Similar to .htaccess in Apache
I want to make .default.asp as the defalt file in one folder and index.asp in another.
Thanks

S.K.,

Go into ISM and in each folder's properties, select the Default Document tab and enter the name you want.

Thank you.
But for the sake of this dummy,
could you please tell me what ISM is and should it be done only at the server end and is there any method of manipulating it by uploading a file to the server from the client's end like .htaccess file?

I don't believe you can do it by uploading a file, I could be wrong though. The only way I know how to do it is to go through the ISM like Webmaster999 said.

ISM is Inernet Service Manager.
