remove index.php from wordpress on win2003 shared hosting

No need to install any ISAPI filter to remove the index.php from WordPress permalinks.No need of .htaccess file..Use these simple steps to WordPress Permalinks in IIS 6.0 using Custom 404 Redirect for Windows Shared hosting/manas hosting or any windows shared hosting.When you run wordpress on IIS server your permalinks have to include the prefix /index.php/ which looks ugly and is totally unnecessary.If you have these requirements as follow: 

a.IIS for Windows Shared Hosting

b.WordPress Site

c.Access to change your 404 error page with your web hosting.

This can be remove by following simple steps.

1. Once installed wordpress blog on your site you’ll want to log into the admin section and select options and then select permalinks. Set your permalinks as you wish.

2. Then You’ll create a new text file and name it "404-error.php". In this text file you’re going to include the text:

<?php
// This is the default file for the site. Usually index.php
$default = 'index.php';

// The name of this file.
// Set this value for the URL in Custom Error Properties of your website in IIS.
// Goto: IIS Manager > Websites > [Site Name] > Properties > Custom Errors >
// 404 & 404;2 & 404;3 > URL (Requires a '/' prefix in IIS).
$thisfile = '404-error.php';

$_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED'] = str_replace($thisfile, $default, $_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED']);
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] = str_replace($thisfile, $default, $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);
$_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO'] = str_replace($thisfile, $default, $_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO']);
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = str_replace($thisfile, $default, $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] = str_replace($thisfile, $default, $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
$_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] = false;

$qs =& $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
$ru =& $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$pos = strrpos($qs, '://');
$pos = strpos($qs, '/', $pos + 4);
$_SERVER['URL'] = $ru = substr($qs, $pos);
$qs = trim(stristr($ru, '?'), '?');

// Required for WordPress 2.8+
$_SERVER['HTTP_X_ORIGINAL_URL'] = $ru;

// Fix GET vars
foreach ( $_GET as $var => $val ) {
  if ( substr($var, 0, 3) == '404') {
    if ( strstr($var, '?') ) {
      $newvar = substr($var, strpos($var, '?') + 1);
      $_GET[$newvar] = $val;
    }
    unset($_GET[$var]);
  }
  break;
}
include($default);
?>
then Upload 404-error.php into the root directory of your blog.

3.Set a custom 404 redirect to “/404-error.php”. It is important that the type of redirect is set to URL.
You can change this directly from within IIS by selecting Properties -> Custom Errors. Select 404. Edit. Set Message Type to URL (you have the option of File, URL or Default). Set it to /404-error.php.

4. That's It done.Check your blog.It will working Fine.
