I was going thru some topics on changing dynamic urls.
At many places it was suggest that I use a dll at the server site as my site is a .asp site.
The problem I am facing is that my website is on a shared environment and the hosting provider will not allow me to load any software on the server nor register any dll at the server side or change any IIS settings.
Can I do this by writing any asp script that runs on my site?
help plz...

faiyu, it may be time to start looking for another host. If they do not want to assist you with cleaning up the URIs, I'm sure there are plenty others out there who would.
Once you do find a host who can work with you, I might recommend a product called ISAPI_Rewrite to perform the functions you require.
I had faced a similar problem when one of my client asked me how I could remove all those? and = from those dynamically generated asp URLs... I did some research over the net and many suggested me with using ISAPI_Rewrite ... but because my clients host did not allow me to install any dlls it was droped....
I did find a totally diff solution here at webmasterworld but the same effect ( getting out the garbages off the urls).
I fould the solution using custom 404 pages to rewrite the url... For parsing my dynamic urls I used the 404.asp file. This works perfect. If a file/directory doesn't work, the user is sent to the 404.asp file, then that reads the info and shows the right page.
the posts can be found here:

do somemore search on parsing urls using 404 page.
Good Luck,
John
