Create a static homepage problem

    I'm using the latest version of Wordpress and the Flexibility theme. I'd like to use a static homepage and I know how to go to Settings/Reading and select the static page, but the problem is the default "Home" link on the menu bar.

    If I create another page for the static homepage and call it "Homepage" the default link "Home" is still visable. If I create another page called "Home" then it appears twice.

    The question is how do I add content to the default "Home" page? It's not under "Pages".

    Or how can I delete the link on the menu bar and put up my own "Home" page.

    Thanks

    In header.php file:
    
    <div id="nav" style="clear:both;">
       <ul>
           <li>.......</li>
    ...........
    
    </ul>
    </div>
    
    Code (markup):
    Delete this line <li>.......</li>

    I couldn't find any of the code in the header.php file, but I found the word "Home" and deleted it and it worked :)

    Thanks

    Okay it's working, I rebooted and the new page displays as the homepage. But does anyone know how to delete the default "Home" tab, now I have two (the new page tab and the default Home tab) that leads to the same page.

    Thanks
