Complete the field labeled "Home".
Recompile the project

Note that you may really put just about anything in the field. You may insert a web address such as http://www.google.com or you may point at a topic inside your help system. If you want this area to open your default topic, you would type the path and file name of the default topic.

Hopefully this helps... Rick
