 * I have WordPress in a subfolder but I want it on the root, I don’t want to redirect
   the domain to the folder because I have other folders that aren’t associated 
   with WP at all. And if I redirect my domain those other folders don’t work. Is
   there any way to move WP into the root, if I do it by hand will it rip it all
   apart?

 * You can actually just move it.
    Just make sure to FIRST edit the WP location 
   fields in the Admin menu under Options. 😉
