I need some help with being able to change the front page <front> of Drupal.
Drupal home Page
you can make any page the frontpage by setting it in the admin panel.
Look for the page admin/settings/site-information (Home › Administer › Site configuration)
There you'll find a "Default front page:" setting which you can change to any url you want.
And if you want some more options on making frontpage-ish overview pages. You should take a look at the views module.

Thanks I saw it as you said but there is just one more thing. The default home page starts with
"http://localhost/drupal-6.10/?q=". And: 1) I am not that familiar with drupal nodes 2) I would like my drupal home page to have something like a welcome note and 3) it should still be on the drupal setup without having drupal in a subdirectory of the site.
Do I have to edit the drupal code or create my own node and how do I go about it.

Be default you can create stories and pages. Both are nodes, and both can be a frontpage. The difference is that a page can be a frontpage by itself (and is used a lot for contact pages and other static pages). And stories are more like posts in a blog.
By default the frontpage is like a blog, and you can pubblish stories on it. You can make stories "sticky" to make them stick on top and put some kind of welcome message in it.
If you make a page and that page would have the url /node/20 (or ?q=/node/20) you can use that as the default frontapge and have a staticf page as the frontpage.
You should never have to edit the drupal code (some exceptions, but that's explained after you know how to write modules)
