.htaccess Hide file name in URL

Server Config
1

Hi

I was wondering if there is anyway we can hide file name in the URL using .htaccess ?

For example

These URLs:

http://example.com/home.html
http://example.com/welcome/contact-us.html
http://example.com/home/support/email_us.php

Should look like

http://example.com/
http://example.com/welcome/
http://example.com/home/support/

If the visitor wrote the file name and extension correctly,
I want a 404 error page to appear

Pls let me know if this is possible and how?

Many thanks

Assuming that the file are arranged as such that contact-us.html is in a directory named welcome and email_us.html is in a directory named support, this can be done by setting a DirectoryIndex for each directory. Eg:-

DirectoryIndex home.html

There are other ways using rewriting that yo may need, depending on the site structure.
