Whenever I create an index file it is in the top subfolder 
of the specific mirror, not in /My Web Sites/.  I mirror a 
lot of different sites for an intraweb and each site has a 
different subfolder.  That is where the index.html, created 
by httracker, usually appears.  So, if I 
mirrored "microsoft.com" into project named MICRO, I would 
have /My Web Sites/MICRO/index.html.  The index would be in 
the same subdir as hts-log.txt, hts-cache, etc. (depending 
on your settings).  There would also be a subdir 
called "microsoft.com" in the same place.

I hope that I didn't misunderstand your point.  I've never 
had a problem with the index, but I rarely create one.  
Instead, I use the starting page of the mirror, as it would 
appear on the web.

Sorry for the delay in answering.  I mistakenly thought the 
thread had ended.

Cheers.
