Removing the /folder/ from Wordpress using mod rewrite?

Question

I'm working on a blog installed in its own sub folder so the URL for an article looks like this:

I need it to just look like this:

http://www.sampleurl.com/article

I'm not able to install it on the root directory so would a mod rewrite be able to do this and if so, how?

Thanks!

Over in the WordPress support forums we refer folks to this article for that: Giving WordPress Its Own Directory. Hope it helps you out.
