"404 Not Found" isn't working

I just paid for PHP Link Directory 3.04 and you can see it installed here:

I see .htaccess file is configured to redirect 404 errors to index.php so it can handle clean or 'friendly' urls. I like friendly urls, but if a url doesn't exist I want them to get a 404 Not Found error.

Currently it doesn't work that way--if a page doesn't exist the main page is shown instead.

How can I change this to the desired behavior?

Search your index.php file for this piece of code:
Content visible to registered users only.
Add this right after it:Content visible to registered users only.
This way it will still send a 404/Not Found header if the page does not exist and redirect to error.html
Use whatever filename you want, but change the PHP code to redirect to it.

That did the trick. Thanks very much for your timely response!
