Greetings, and welcome to the forums.

Okay .. if you follow the [url="http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/installation/index.html"]installation and getting started[/url] bit of the guide, you can't really go wrong. It covers what you need to do a basic install.
The other stuff that you're talking about - well, that's if and when you want to do something a bit more special.
Have you got a basic instance cranked up and the welcome-to-codeigniter page on a web browser?
You don't really need to muck with
.htaccess - that's only if you want to get rid of the index.php bit in your URL's.
And you don't really need to muck with
routes.php - other than (and it's optional) you want to change the default controller. Of course, you may well do, as the default is probably not what you want. But it's a one-word change, and heavily documented in routes.php
I think start with a basic system, and start to get comfortable with that first, and then branch out into customising things as you get happier with the layout and the format of the config files.
