It is set dynamically in Mage_Checkout_Block_Cart::getContinueShoppingUrl() depending of some conditions.

The easiest way to customise it is to set it explicitly in the checkout/cart.phtml template of your theme.

The more sophisticated way would be to add something like this into your module controller:

Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->setContinueShoppingUrl(...);

Hi Tim, thanks for the response. Can you elaborate a little more ? This type of customization is new to me and I'm not sure where I should add the code. – Christina Rule Sep 18 '13 at 22:25
That's quite easy. Locate checkout/cart.phtml file of your theme and change the link there. – Tim Bezhashvyly Sep 19 '13 at 06:25
hi @tim thanks for the response. so I should change it to a hard link or replace it with
'Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->setContinueShoppingUrl(...);'

If you have not much Magento experience I would suggest a hardlink. Where do you want to link? – Tim Bezhashvyly Sep 19 '13 at 19:28
