Sharepoint 2007 - How can i access default.aspx (portal homepage)? - sharepoint

Ive been having a problem with a webpart in a sharepoint (moss 2007) site.
Basically I cannot remove the webpart, every which way results in an error and we cant get rid of the darn thing.
Unfortunately SharePoint designer errors out as wel when I try to remove the webpart manually from Default.aspx (its only on the homepage).
Is there anyway without SharePoint designer I can gain access to the Default.aspx file so I can manually remove the webpart?
Someone mentioned default.aspx doesnt actually exist and is generated at runtime? Is this true and if so does anyone know where in the moss database I could gain acces to the table(s) that build up the default.aspx or where the webpart refs are stored for manual removal?
Thanks all!

you can try adding ?contents=1 at the end of your URL page. for example:
http://myserver/Pages/default.aspx?contents=1
this will bring you to a "Web Part Page Maintenance" page where you can checkout the page itself and remove/disable web parts.

Customize a WebPart without "target audiences"

Hy,
I use SharePoint Foundation 2010 and I learned that the "target audiences" are disabled on the Foundation version.
I need to customize a WebPart on a wiki page when A user of a certain group is connected.
Have you an idea ?
Thanks
Sam
Alternatively you can add a new web part page in your SharePoint site
and then add this Documents web part on the page. Once it is done,
Give access to only intended users for this page. Which means control
access at page level.

I have found a solution.
I insert JavaScript code in a WebPart in my wiki page from my SharePoint.

Redirect to homepage in sharepoint list 2007 or 2010

I am migrating MOSS 2007 portal to sharepoint 2010 without UI upgrade. In MOSS 2007 on feedback form submission "OK" button it redirects to home page. After I migrated to 2010 after the feedback submission it redirects to "sitename/lists/Feedback" and hence throws page not found error. In 2007 I checked all aspx pages related to feedback, no javascript is written, it is all OOTB. I am not understanding what was done in 2007 for this redirection. Also in addition no views are present in view section. But AllItems.aspx exists and i have a navigation link for the same. Please if any1 can guide me in how do i solve this problem in 2010.
I am not sure if below technique that I used is recomended but this solved my problem. My Feedback link was menioned in footer in my master page and I appended ?Source=default.aspx in the href of the anchor tag.
e.g.
<a href=/Lists/Feedback/Allitems.aspx?Source=default.aspx>

Sharepoint 2010 web parts not displaying on one website, but are on the other

I'm working on remolding my companies current exsisting Sharepoint site. I installed the SP ZAP Slideshow webpart and went to the sharepoint site to insert it, and absolutely no webparts were listed. I went into the provided Sharepoint 2010 central administration and realized that everything seems to be listed as
//usmvwc0wtf1srv.ww005.work.net/sitepages/
When the website were hosting, and it should be listing is
//usmvwc0wtf1srv.ww005.work.net/sites/
I went to the /sitepages website and all the webparts exsisted and worked, however i need to get them working on the /sites page. Is there some way to switch it so it will not default all the webparts and content i'm uploading to the wrong page? I feel as though the wrong default page is listed? sorry new to all this!
Web Parts, which you see listed and are able to insert on a page when you edit it, come from the Web Part Gallery in the site collection. They are usually installed to the gallery when you activate their site collection-scope feature. Check what features you didn't activate in the new site collection - I suspect that one of them is responsible for the installation of Web Parts you are looking for. (The scope of the feature can be site collection or site - check both.)

Copy webpart page from one site to another site through sharepoint designer

I am trying to move webpart page containg content editor webpart from the one site to another site through sharepoint designer but the page is moved without its content so how to move page with its content anyone can tell me how to solve this issue.
There are many ways to do that. If you are doing this in development farm you can try SPContentDeploymentWizard. You need to export the page with all it's reference and then import it in destination.

What are all the hidden list URL's for WSS 3.0 and MOSS?

For example, I have a MOSS publishing page where a user added a web part and I'm unable to remove that web part due to how the layout is rendered. I cant access the small drop down menu to "delete" the web part.
I know there is a ton of unpublished list views that exist and was wondering if we could get a comprehensive list of them here, and maybe find the one that will also solve my problem.
Hey for removing a webpart, you can just append the query string Contents=1 to the webpart page url.
i.e. "http://localhost/sites/SiteCollection/default.aspx?Contents=1" will show you the webpart maintenence page for the webpart page "http://localhost/sites/SiteCollection/default.aspx". Here you can remove the webparts.
