Clean URL's

Clean URL's is one of the best features of the Drupal Content Management System. Drupal, by deafult, puts a "?q=" in each path. Clean URL's and the Path module allow control of each URL in the system. The URL can be set to anything. This is great for creating fake file structure for new Drupal sites and helps keep URL's the same in converted HTML sites. Clean URL's is recommended for use in all Drupal sites.
