index.html index.htm and default.html

[LeX]

I was wondering, typing http://www.yahoo.com/ will lead you to the index.html file, or the index.htm or default.html file? (suppose all 3 files exists in the same directory and differs from each other)

somebody please tell me, I'm too lazy to try this out myself.

Its whatever comes first in the DirectoryIndex variable of the server configuration files. Its usually index.html...
