That only works at home of course. How can I make it take me to the root?

Go to the Admin Control Panel / Configurations / Website URL and change that to the URL of your main page.

if it says 'localhost' the browser will look to the local computer for it ... so yes, if it's not local, change to the IP/domain/server name where it's really located.

Is there any way in Windows to set that it should resolve a certain URL to localhost instead of the WAN IP?

edit: found it. Never mind
