mod_rewrite URL

[Sorcher]

I am having troubles finding out how to make my url from http://example.com/index.php?page=images to http://example.com/images. None of the htaccess tutorials i read today could make me understand it.
I would give you a big wet kiss if you could lead me / give me a snippet or your awesomeness so i could make this happen!

RewriteRule ^(\w+)$ http://example.com/index.php?page=$1

RewriteRule ^(\w+)$ http://example.com/index.php?page=$1

Thanks for your reply, i can write http://example.com/images now instead of http://example.com/index.php?page=images but the url in the browser bar does not change. Do you have any idea how that could be done?
i currently have;

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule    ^$						/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(\w+)$ http://example.com/index.php?page=$1

Try this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?page=$1 [L]

The link in the url will not be changed its self,
you should have to give http://example.com/images instead of http://example.com/index.php?page=images all in your application pages...
So that end user can access with your desired link.

If you want the url to change I think you can use the [R] flag.
