    Default document is not the same as start page. Default document means if I requested mysite.com/somefolder and didn’t specify a file, which file should IIS display.

    If you want to use a specific page as your home page, create a Default.aspx file and write this in it’s codebehind class:

    public override void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) {     context.Response.Redirect('pages/default.aspx', true); } 

    As the client might have disabled Javascript, a server side approach would be more reliable. However it’s best to issue a permanent redirect instead of a simple Response.Redirect. Also doing it using JS will be bad from a SEO point of view.
