    Just wondering what does this do and should it be on or off to be search engine friendly?

    Will it give any 404 error if somebody do it now..

    Suppose I am running my directory since months, got few backlinks for my directory targetting category pages like www....com/c=1.php etc.. and changing it now via url rewrite to www...com/directories - will it give not found error ?

    Search engine indexes all your pages via the main page index.php

    no, you will not get an error.
    I think it should be as a default
