Preventing the Navigation bar from appearing when the first page of a help is loaded...

Hi all (again!)

Another simple one I think (hope). Basically the situation is that we want a first page of the webhelp that provides links to various other sources - a blog, contact numbers etc etc and we would like this page to *not* look like it's just the first page of the webhelp. We would like to achieve this by not having the navigation bar on the left hand side. Seeing as it is capable of being open or closed, presumably there is something that can be changed to make the default state of the Index.htm file to be 'Navbar closed'? I had a look at the HTML and changed a few likely suspects, none of which did the job...

Does anybody have any idea how you would go about doing this?

Thanks,
