How do I get ride of those endings .html.

Hi
Can anyone help me. I have designed a cool navigation bar in Fireworks, but since it is not made in Dreamweaver I can´t edit the pop-um menus in that program. For the links i wrote for example: http://www.google.com/cars but then when I went and uploaded the files than all of the sudden it had to be http://www.google.com/cars.html. Now I have the navigation bar on multiple pages and it´s a huge time killer to alter him.
I read in the help center that it is possible to get rid of index.html on the homepage´s URL by altering the access file in the public_html folder. I was wondering if it´s not possible also to make that .html ending disappear by some why, if so, HOW?

Easiest way is to have a directory named /cars/ and put an index.html file in it. Now http://www.yoursite.com/cars works.

Hi thanks for responding.
I see what you mean, but I still don´t think it works.
Here is a better explanation the link is for example:www.google.com/cars/ford
So it doesn´t link to the URL which is:www.google.com/cars/ford.html.
Now if I would do as you suggested with the index file than the link has to be:www.google.com/cars instead of what it is now:www.google.is/cars/ford and besides it doesn´t work out because I have in some directories many files for example:
google.is
cars
ford
chrysler
toyota
so the index file can only cover one of them I think.
If you have another solution I would surely like to hear it.
Cheers mate.

Of course your way works. I realized as soon as I posted the response. I will make a directory Car and another directory of Ford and then the index file. Of course.
Thanks a bunch for the tip.
