Question : How can I modify the contents/layout of a MySite page in SharePoint?

I have a SharePoint intranet site that was originally set up by a consultant that is no longer available.  Bear with me as I describe this question.

How can I modify the contents/layout of a MySite page in SharePoint?

Specifically, the URL for our MySite page that comes up is:
http://moss.fg.com/mysite/Person.aspx?accountname=xxx

I have been told that in order to change the aspx program, I need to go to this address:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\Template\SiteTempltes\SPSMSITE

The only two aspx pages there are default.aspx and public.aspx.  There is a person.aspx in a SPSMSITEHOST directory  so I figured that was a special location set up by this consultant to handle our MySite needs.

However, when I try to edit this person.aspx page (right-click to bring up Sharepoint Designer), I ge the following error message:
Master Page Error
The Master Page file '~masterurl/default.master' cannot be loaded.
'Attach a different master page' (link) or coorect the problem in 'Code View' (link).

The line of source code that is causing this problem is obviously th following:
<%@ Page language="C#" MasterPageFile="~masterurl/default.master"      Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.MySitePublicWebPartPage,Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal,Version=12.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>

Am I trying to open this page the wrong way -or- is there a better way to go about trying to modify the layout of the MySite page?

How would you like to modify it? Do you know if any of the pages have been modified before?

You can try to go to a personal site and find Pages library. Pick a page and edit with SPD from there.

Thanks.
