Yikes. I hope not.

To answer your question, no, you can't alter the URL that shows in the
Address box in IE (or Location box in Netscape). You can change the title of
the page that appears in the top bar of the browser, and you can change what
appears in the Status Bar at the bottom of the browser (hiding the default
URL with something like "Click here to go to my page".

I suppose you could make the url be something like:

http://www.yoursite.com/Welcome_To_My_Page

(that would be a directory named Welcome_To_My_Page with a default document
like index.html in it).

Is there a way to change what appears in the address
bar? Like someone clicks on a link to
http://www.mypage.com/justapage.html and instead of
that appearing in the address bar the developer could
have a message appear like "Welcome to my page". Hope
this makes sense!
