Default Help with changing the images on the front page

When I add new items to the catalog in the admin panel it puts them on the front page under 'whats new for May'...How do I change those images on my front page? I don't like the images it puts there.
Thanks for your help.
Lynn

To clarify what I mean is I would like to have control over what images show up on the front page of my site instead of the newest items that I type in. I hope there is a way to do that.
Thanks

Try seting the number of products to show on the "what's new module" to 0, that might work... (haven't checked since I do not use it)

goto your templates directory and then go to /content
if you don't have index_default.tpl.php in there, then copy it in from the templates/fallback/content directory
edit index_default.tpl.php
find:
Code:
<tr>
            <td><br><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>
          </tr>
remove it.

Go to Infobox Admin and simply disable the 'What's New' module by clicking on the red light.

Nope!
By doing that you would be disabled the box that shows one single product on the left/right sides of your store. The module on the central part of the store would need to be removed from the central part of your template like met00 explained.

Default Re: Help with changing the images on the front page

I still can't get the images on the front page to be what I want them to be and not what OSCMAX wants them to be. I keep hitting dead ends. There has got to be a detailed way that I can do this.
Please help me if you can.
Thanks
Lynn
