Generally, the answer is 'you can't'

Re: Pretty URL's on windows host
Are they using Apache or Windows IIS to serve their pages (WAMP or LAMP)?
If using Apache, the .htaccess documentation inside of the /doc/ directory of the CMSMS install should give the information needed (htaccess.txt). Be sure your config.php is using 'mod_rewrite' for pretty URLs.
If you are using Windows IIS 7.5 + it is supposed to come bundled with the Windows version of sef rewriting. If you are using something older, you'll need to add in ISAPI_Rewrite, or something similar to that. But, in both cases, it takes some tweaking the Windows IIS rewrite utilities to meet your needs.
