Create a new directory for each html file you want. "sample.html" gets its own directory "/sample/". Then move that "sample.html" to the "/sample" directory and change it's name to "index.html".

so you would have a structure like this...

ROOT-
SAMPLE
index.html
OTHERSAMPLE
index.html
SOMETHING
index.html
PHOTOS
index.html

index.html

sorry if you don't understand that. But basically a directory for each page. The page inside of each directory should be called "index.html" though. The server will automatically recognize it when "yoursite.com/directory/" is called and load it.

Google on Mod rewrite. It is an Apache Server Directive that massages the URLs of your site.
