The problem is that the address in the browser is replaced with 'http://localhost/index.php?category=games', when I want it to remain http://localhost/games/
Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks

I believe by having the http:// in the rewrite rule, that forces an address change. Try taking that off (and even the server name variable), and see if that works?

(I've done work with htaccess and mod_rewrite on my own before, and have never had to have http://%{SERVER_NAME} in my rewrite rules to accomplish what I wanted to accomplish.)

C:/http/ being where the server is. Also, my rewrite works, but I don't want the browser address to change.

This might not be relevant, but, why do you have the [R] flag? Have you tried taking it off, and seeing what that does?

Code:
RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^games index.php?category=games
