If you dont want the default page to exist, you can just delete the controller or change its actions. (Controllers/HomeController/Index)

If you dont want to be routed there, change route mapping in RouteConfig (it is set there as a default - defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional })

In both those cases you will see error page if you dont change configuration to match.

If you want some specific page to load after you start project in VS, change Project->Properties->Web->Start URL

Maybe read something about routing in ASP.NET. This looks like starter info.
