That's probably as close as you'll get without some help from
mod_rewrite. Assuming you're using Apache and have mod_rewrite
enabled, put the following in a file named .htaccess and put it in the
top level Joomla directory:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

There's a good article about mod_rewrite on sitepoint:
