Hello all,
In-regards to the repy to the original poster. What you could do first is, copy all of your word press folders and files keeping the same structure as your first WP installation and keep the wp-config of the first installation and then just upload all the stuff into the main root directory.
So it would be:
public_html folder
wordpress <-directory of original word press installation
wp-admin <-- right inside the root directory
wp-content <-- right inside the root directory
wp-includes <-- right inside the root directory
all other word press files <-- right inside the root directory including the original wp-config file as well.
Just keep the original config file though from the original installation...because all your really going to change is the location of the word press files.. I'm not sure if you have the same FTP software as I do, but once inside the FTP directory... I can just highlight all the files within a directory and right click to move them out into the root if I want to..
But as for the guy that replied to the original poster... that would work, putting that url inside of wordpress, but you'd have to have the files of word press moved to. Here's link to the word press forums about this:

P.S. Because if you just change the url in the Word Press config panel to point to the root directory, it will or could screw it up I think because all the files aren't being pulled up right. I'm not really sure, but as far as I know that's what would happen.
