im beginning to question where i shouldve put the CodeIgniter folder.

I put as a folder at my root next to my index.php frontpage. Should i have just put the System folder found within the CodeIgniter there instead and change my route to 'http://www.myexample.com' instead of what it is now('http://www.myexample.com/CodeIgniter')?

I say this because all of my urls have the CodeIgniter folder in them like below. BUT im worried that my current index.php found at my root(http://myexample.com/index.php) will mess everything up.

http://myexample.com/CodeIgniter/index.php/form

i don't want CodeIgniter in my url...

*i should mention that the account where im learning CodeIgniter already has my working website done the old fashion procedural way with no framework.
