mod_rewrite help?

[squidgetx95]

So basically I'm trying to use apache and .htaccess to change my urls from "domain.com/index.php?p=#" to just "domain.com/#" (I'm making a webcomic: shakespearescomics.tk)So I did some research, and here's what I put into the file:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^([0-9]*)$ /index.php?p=$1 [L]

As far as I can tell, nothing is happening. Is it because I'm editing htacces from the legacy file manager? Like an idiot I set the options for the regular file manager on "dont show this popup again" and "do not show hidden files"-is there a way to change that as well?

Edit: I found the problem; but I still need an answer to my second question: can I change the settings on filemanager?

When you first log into cPanel, there is a setting/link at the bottom of the page to reset all interface settings
