You need to let IIS know that it is okay to do this. Open the Internet Information Services app, select your web site and right-click Properties. Then click the Documents tab and add index.shtml to the list. This should now be the default document.

2 things:

Must it be called index.shtml? Why not call it index.html or default.html?

If this is being called form a web host you may not have access to the IIS control panel app so may be forced to change the name of the file.
