How to remove Groups functions

I would like to remove entirely the Groups functions and possibly replace some or all of the Groups PHP with my own coding.

I notice that clicking Groups typically creates a URL like

http://myWebSite/groups/horses

when in fact there is no folder groups so I guess some error handler in the Zend code is redirecting the user to a subroutine which strips the 'groups/horses' string and determines that a subroutine to show 'horses' is executed

Short of deleting all groups*.php until I hit the correct php page to modify, what should I do to fix all the varous places in Vshare which call the Groups functions?

Thanks in advance

mod rewrite is what does that with folders, if you dont want it you could remove it from your .htaccess but that may break the groups feature

Thanks SO-OOH Much !

I knew it had to be some simple trick. However I am gonna leave the mod rewrite as is and still substitute my own PHP pages since I know what I want to do and how to do it. I will be coding around the current Vshare pages.

For those (like me) who are not mod-rewrite and regular expression wizards here is a URL which helps explain whats going on
