mod rewrite - How to remove "index.php" in codeigniter's path

Question

How do I remove the "index.php" sticking out in every path in codeigniter somewhere in the center? I want clean non index.php-fied URLs?

If you are using Apache place a .htaccess file in your root web directory containing the following:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index.php|[Javascript / CSS / Image root Folder name(s)]|robots.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
