Piece of cake... x-cart has a default index.html. You might have seen it, its the one that says "enter store and has the x-cart logo. Anyway, create a index.html however you want (remember to put a link to home.php somewhere on it so people can find your store) and save it in the root directory (
www.yoursite.com/index.html
Then you will notice in your x-cart files a file named .htaccess. open it in a text editor (something other than notepad or Word) and you will see the top line reads something like...
DirectoryIndex home.php index.php index.htm index.html
change it to
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm home.php index.php
(leave the rest of the file alone)
and upload it to your site, making sure it is just .htaccess and not .htaccess.txt or anything like that.
What this file does is give directions to your site visitors telling the browser what page to look for first, second, third, etc. until it finds one. So we just changed it from home.php being first to index.html being first. Simple.
