Moving site url from /wordpress to root level (2 posts)

    Hi, I have a friend who installed WP in /wordpress. She then has a ghastly index.html in her root level that has an iframe containing http://www.example.com/wordpress/ !!!

    I have seen the instructions at http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Using_a_pre-existing_subdirectory_install and feel happy to follow these through.

    The questions I have though are:
    - how do I make sure that old links coming in to /wordpress/... redirect to the root level?
    - will the admin login still be under /wordpress/wp-admin/ ?
    - anything else I should look out for?
    - any plugins (e.g. for redirects) that might help?

    It's not a very old site or particularly well visited, so not huge risk as long as I don't break it entirely!

    Thanks
