    Hi,
    You sould replace your index.htm page (comming soon page) with a redirect page (google for html redirect) pointing to www.bigaaplefta.com/zencart.
    So anyone who enters www.bigaaplefta.com will be transfered to zencart folder.

    Good job on moving your cart to the root directory.

    'All those ads' can be removed in various places when you customize your cart.

    stevesh is right. Once you start customizing your Zen Cart, much of that will disappear. The rest you can turn off in the admin.

    There's the tutorials/FAQ link at the top of this page and amazingly enough there's a copy of instructions in the folder called DOCS.

    If you try to "Wing It", you'll wind up with an albatross around your neck!

    Read some of the tutorials and check out the override system before you jump in.
