effects of changing URL of homepage?

Hi
I just converted a website from static to Drupal 6. The homepage of the static site was just www.mysite.com Now the homepage is www.mysite.com/node and Google has dumped the tiny rating I had. I know how to change the front page node under administer/siteinformation, but I don't know what affect it has. Ultimately, I would like to truncate the homeapage to www.mysite.com but calling it www.mysite.com/index.html would do it, too.
Will that mess up all the other functions, ie 'promote to frontpage' and sticky?
I know there is an easy answer and I'm overthinking this one but I searched the forums and couldn't find it.

Have a look at admin / site
Have a look at admin / site configuration / site information. There at the bottom of the page is where you can set up your default home page. Mine is set to 'node' (as suggested by the text) and my front page does not refer to 'node'.
This will not have any effect on promote to front page or sticky settings.
The above is assuming that you haven't installed Drupal to a sub-directory called 'node'.
