remove extension in URL on an iis server

I have pages set up with razor code to use a consistent layout on every page. I don't want the pages url to display with the .cshtml tag How can I do this. I use JQuery, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, ASP.net (web Pages Logic)

EX URL; http:// www.site.com/page.htm

I am new to ASP and server side stuff. 

@{
    Layout = "~/Shared/_Layout1.cshtml"; <!--i use a _PageStart.cshtml that contains this line for dry purpose-->

    Page.title = ""; @*add pages title here*@
}

<!--If you want to add Page specific stylesheets Link them here with HTML tags-->
@section ExtraHeadContent {

}


@section NavBarLinks {
    <!--Enter links here for the top navigation bar <a class="topnav-link" href="~/index.html">| Home</a> -->
}

<!--Enter the Pages HTML content here. This will be displayed in the white content div-->

If there are any relevant pages or discussions you've found in the past please share.

The built in routing system within the ASP.NET Web Pages framework allows you to omit the file extension altogether. If you request www.yourdomain.com/YourPage (where YourPage represents a file called YourPage.cshtml), it should work by default. You can read more about it here: http://www.mikesdotnetting.com/Article/165/WebMatrix-URLs-UrlData-and-Routing-for-SEO.

As for replacing the file extension with .htm, I'm not sure that you hope to achieve by doing that. It won't improve SEO. However, one option would be to use a Nuget package called WebPageRouteHandler. I've written about that too: http://www.mikesdotnetting.com/Article/187/More-Flexible-Routing-For-ASP.NET-Web-Pages. Mapping each file individually could be a pain, but you could generate the routes dynamically from a database or from looping through the physical files to reduce the code required.
