I moved and ended up loosing my index.htm page and the icon

I tried to move my index.htm homepage in the left colum, up a few steps to
localize all my pages (so I did'nt have to scroll down to the bottom) in
doing so (and I don't remember what I clicked but it must have been "ok") I
completely lost it. I have another file that I've named index.htm but it is
only a copy and won't publish, also it does not have the "home page" icon
(the little house) it just looks like all the other htm. page icons. I've
tried to rename it to index.html and it says I can't because "destination
already exists". I'm obviously self taught and have no idea what to do. My
server is hostgator and I use smart ftp. I have 2003 fp. and use windows
vista. I believe that when I was clicking and dragging my index.htm up the
left hand colum, I had set it on top of the photogallery. I've looked in all
of the photogallery(s) for the past 2 days and I cant find it anywhere. How
do I use the file that I have named index.htm as my homepage?

your homepage needs to reside in the root folder...so if you put it
somewhere else drag it back to the root.

Thank you so much. I really really appreciate it. I did'nt realize that it
was the same "index.htm" so I dragged it to the bottom and you are awsome!~

You're welcome...be aware though that any folder under the root can have an
index or default page as well.
