    Yes. .htaccess parameters ca do this. Please use a .htaccess generator for this.

    This is what you have to create in the .htaccess file:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^page1$ page1.htm
    RewriteRule ^page2$ page2.htm
    RewriteRule ^page3$ page3.htm

    Obviously you have to create a RewriteRule line for every page you have on your site.. and that's about it!

    Yes, you put that code into .htaccess, test it thoroughly, and then and remove the ".html" extension from the URLs in the linkson your pages. <a href="blah.html"> should be changed to <a href="blah">

      The simplest way to do it is by replacing files with folders. I put up a page with the details at get rid of file extensions.

    The easiest route is to use folders. For example, if you have a file called sales.html, instead make a folder called /sales/ and place the html file inside, and rename it index. Now the url will be yoursite.com/sales/ instead of yoursite.com/sales.html.

    The folders idea is awesome guys!

    But i thought i read somewhere that google looks even into the name of the page for clues as to its priority.

    For example a page names free-widgets.html would rank higher (all other things being the same) than another index.html

    Feel free to correct me if im wrong.

    Google considers the whole url for that page as the "page name" so I wouldn't be too concerned with the page name being index.html. That's why it's better to have your keyword in the domain name but it's not a game killer if you don't. Just make sure it gets into the URL.
