Remove folder from magento URL

I have Magento store installed in folder called magento and it is working fine and i managed to remove the index.php using .htaccess

Now the URL for my store is

www.example.com/magento/

I don't want to move my files to the root directory but i need to remove /magento from the URL and i think the only way will be using the .htaccess but i can't understand it clearly.

I did find some links but every one have another situation and because my weak knowledge of the .htaccess file it didn't help me.

What i need simply

www.example.com/magento/

to

www.example.com

Can someone can guide me how to rewrite the URL ? Thanks in advance!

Try this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/admin(/|$) [NC]
RewriteRule !^magento/ /magento%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NC]
