Use .htaccess to remove home.html?

[phillyman2004]

How would I go about using the .htaccess file to remove the words "home.html" from my websites front page. I am using the same forum software as MSFN, and having it generate a homepage, but in order to generate the page....it must have a name. I could shorten it to www.mywebsite.com/home.......but I would worry about any other page that has the word home in it, getting rewritten.

Basically I have....

www.mysite.com/home.html

and I want

www.mysite.com

Any help is appriciated

I think you are basically asking for RewriteEngine which is not always available. But give it a try in your environment.
