I have my website working from www.xyz.com/wordpress, but customers should not need to type it all. If they just type www.xyz.com it should take them to www.xyz.com/wordpress.

you can just point your domain to the subdirectory – Zach L Jun 27 '12 at 17:30

To redirect http://www.xyz.com/ to http://www.xyz.com/wordpress/ add these rules to your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?xyz.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ wordpress [L]

That answers the first part of your question. The rest of it is totally vague to me.

This works. Thanks. I had to clear the browse cache for it to show up. – Siddharth Jun 30 '12 at 5:47
One more quick one, Can I hide the fact that my site is under wordpress folder ? – Siddharth Jun 30 '12 at 5:47
Yes, you'd have to enable "cloaking" — which is a very bad practise, frowned upon by everyone (including Google), otherwise I don't really think so. (I suggest you ask that question on StackOverflow where you might get some very good suggestions as well.) – its_me Jun 30 '12 at 11:20
