Issue with routing ASP.Net MVC

When I run the application with ISS after clicking on a class. The browser starts up with this url. http://localhost:50282/

When I click on Index in my folder Account In Views and run the application I get this url: http://localhost:50282/Account/Index

Now on both urls I have a register form that links to an action in my AccountController. When I submit the form in the second case I get this url: http://localhost:50282/Account/register and the register method is run in my AccountController Class and works fine.

In the first case I get this url and error:

Url: http://localhost:50282/register
Error: 404
Server Error in '/' Application.
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Requested URL: /register

I want the url to go to the second url http://localhost:50282/Account/register after clicking register no matter where I clicked before running the application.

Submit form view code: 

    @{
        ViewBag.Title = "Index";
    }
    <h1>Register Form </h1>

    <form action="register" method="post">
    <label><i class="" aria-hidden="true"></i> Username </label>
    <input type="text" name="Username" placeholder="Enter User Name"     required="" />
    <br>
    <label><i class="" aria-hidden="true"></i> password </label>
    <input type="password" name="Password" placeholder="Enter Password" required="" id="myInput" />

    <input type="submit" value="Register">
</form>

You need to specify where your form is being submitted to. So change this...

<form action="register" method="post"> 
    <label>
    <i class="" aria-hidden="true"></i> Username </label> 
    <input type="text" name="Username" placeholder="Enter User Name" required="" /> 
    <br> 
    <label>
    <i class="" aria-hidden="true"></i> password </label> 
    <input type="password" name="Password" placeholder="Enter Password" required="" id="myInput" /> <input type="submit" value="Register"> 
</form>

To a html helper for your form...

@using(Html.BeginForm("Register", "Account"))
{

 <label><i class="" aria-hidden="true"></i> Username </label> 
 <input type="text" name="Username" placeholder="Enter User Name" required="" /> 
 <br> 
 <label><i class="" aria-hidden="true"></i> password </label> 
 <input type="password" name="Password" placeholder="Enter Password" required="" id="myInput" /> 
 <input type="submit" value="Register"> 
 }

Also you need to add antiforgery token for security (@html.Antiforgerytoken()). And decorate Register action with [ValidateAntiforgeryToken] attribute.
