They *are* directed to the Dashboard by default. 

Nobody sees the Home page unless they specifically click the navigation link. You could hide that with a bit of custom CSS. Not tried it but something like...

a[data-key="home"] {
    display: none;
}

The Dashboard doesn't show anything useful to visitors. The Dashboard shows things like 'My courses'. Well, it can't do any of that if you haven't logged in. 

If you want everybody to go straight to the Dashboard, enable forced login.

Hi Wahyu,

If you want you can comment the site home code from navigationlib.php (moodle/lib/navigationlib.php). 

Regards,

Mayank

You can, but you shouldn't.

Leave core code alone. Otherwise, it just becomes an excuse not to upgrade.

I second Harold's remark.  I was stuck on 1.9 for several years for this reason.  Even after we stopped modifying core code, the IT people would use that as an excuse to not update--and I would say, but we don't have that problem any more...anyway.  Hacking core is never a good solution.  A solution, maybe, but a bad one.
