hi I add a default document to web.config like bellow

XML

<defaultDocument>
      <files>
        <add value="folder1/Default.aspx" />
      </files>
    </defaultDocument>

its working fine but I want to show the full path in address bar.currently the URL is

www.mydomain.com
but I want in address bar
www.mydomain.com/folder1/Default.aspx

also there are other folder also folder2,folder3 etc..and each folder contains a Default.aspx
so when user type www.mydomain.com/folder2 and enter I want they automatically redirect to www.mydomain.com/folder2/Default.aspx and the url visible in address bar.

It makes no sense. Default document is, by definition, a document to be loaded on a Web page when a user types the URL of the domain name or IP address, or some referrer links such URL. Every directory can also have such default document.

You should understand: you are not really controlling address bar. The users write the URIs they want, or the links (anchors) in some other document define the URI to be placed in HTTP request. You can write the "full" URI you wanted in the anchor of some other document (or redirect, or anything like that), and this URI will be shown in the address bar. But it makes no sense.
