Does mod_rewrite work for windows servers too? If not, how does windows use regular expressions the same way you can using the .htaccess file in Apache?

              If you mean for IIS, there are ways to do it.
In the project I am working on right now, we use Helicon ISAPI Rewrite.

              I guess he indeed meant IIS as "iis7" is listed under the tags.

            There's a URL Rewriting module for IIS7, shipped by Microsoft. It can import rules from mod_rewrite. It doesn't have 100% compatibility, but most of what you want to do, it can do.
There are also other, third-party URL rewriters, with varying degrees of mod_rewrite-compatibility, and varying price points. Helicon ISAPI Rewrite is a commercial one.
IIRF is a good one. Free, mostly compatible. Works on IIS6 or 7. I wrote it.
