How hard is it to point your root folder in your domain to a sub folder like /wordpress?

I am building a site with wordpress that has a home page which is currently displaying the coming soon banner. Now what do I do when I am done developing the site to change the url from www.mysite.com/wordpress to www.mysite.com?

Thanks

I think that codex link may actually give instructions on the opposite of what you're trying to do, but the basic steps are pretty much the same.

Maybe try this reference. http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_Directories_On_Your_Existing_Server
